And then she made a discovery—a chasm down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Could this discovery help prove the age-old theory that the continents on Earth move? The second book in a series about scientific wonder, now focusing on oceanographic cartographer Marie Tharp! Dreaming, daring, thinking, and doing. For researchers ages 6 and up.
