Description

Christie McFall (au & il). Did you ever think about what is under your feet? Beneath a dirt path are endless roots & numerous living creatures. Under city streets are water pipes, gas lines, subways. Go deeper & there are caves & caverns, coal & mineral mines, tunnels for automobiles & trains, wells for water, storage space for warehouses & offices, landfills for waste. This fascinating book looks beneath the surface & shows what is down there & how it got there. The 1.1 million miles of pipelines for natural gas outnumber those for oil. Kansas City has the most underground storage area. N.Y. City has the longest subway system. Gold is stored underground because it is too heavy for any floor. There is an amazing world beneath you! B&W photos, drawings & maps.
