Here we are on Monday yet again, this week we are back to some facts about the Earth.
Seas and oceans are constantly moved by tides, which are caused by the Moon. As the Moon travels around the Earth the force of its gravity makes the water on either side of the Earth bulge. In a 24-hour period this will cause two high tides and two low tides when the sea level is at its highest or lowest.
Rivers are formed when streams join together, flowing across the land and eventually into the sea or lake. The alter the surface of the Earth over time by eroding the rocks they flow over and by depositing rocks, pebbles, sand and slit as they go.
The Pacific Ocean is the worlds largest ocean covering around 30 per cent of the Earth’s surface.
The longest river is of course the Nile at 6,853km or 4,258 miles in length.
The shortest river is the Roe River in Montana at only 61 metres or 201 feet in length, in 1989 it entered the Guinness Book of Records as the shortest river.

Dearest Jo-Anne,
The world’s longest river we have never seen but the Mississippi River ranks 4th and that was quite a sight.
Yes, the world is still changing every day by the power of those rivers…
Hugs,

I think many do not realise how important our rivers, lakes and even streams are to our planet and our lives.
Water means LIFE and all early cities got established near a river!
