Mixing urban and rural settings, covering subjects such as geology, archaeology and natural history, The Street Beneath My Feet offers children the opportunity to explore their world through a detailed learning experience. The underground scenes include tunnels and pipes, creatures’ burrows, layers of rock and the planet’s molten core, and run seamlessly into the next. One side of the foldout shows the ground beneath the city, whilst the reverse side shows the ground beneath the countryside. This double-sided foldout book takes you on a fascinating journey deep underground. Clay is perfect for tunnels because it keeps water out. This underground tunnel has been dug through a kind of soil called clay. It will burst out as lava erupting from a volcano on the Earth’s surface. Mantleīack up at the top of the mantle there is magma on the move! Where there are cracks in the crust above, magma can move upward. Over time, the bones became rock-like and turned into fossils. Gradually, more and more layers of mud, clay, and sand covered the bones and they became surrounded by rock. When these creatures dies, their bones sank into soft mud. Fossilsįossils show us the living things that existed millions of years ago. Earthworms are expert recyclers, eating dead plants in the soil.
