Abstract
This book explores a plethora of different concepts relating to geography through various infographics. The pages contain lots of images, including maps of how far an orange travels and the seven largest mountain peaks in the world. Other pages include lots of illustrations to examine tropical rain forests to explain the layers of the habitat, but also the significance it has on the world by affecting things like air quality. Graphs and charts of smog levels in London and of population in the largest city of a country versus the population of the country's capital are also included to make the presented concepts easier to grasps for young minds.
