  • Illustration of rain falling on a rock. Caption: It is a very slow process that happens over millions of years.

    Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, the snow's thaw is drawing to a close and the mountain is shedding its white robe. Alarick and Moko are fishing in one of the mountain's springs and are catching nothing. They ask an old wise man to tell them where there might be fish. He points them towards the road to the "Ancient Mountain." They follow the road the old man told them about and reach a green luxuriant hill covered with fruit trees and streams. They think that this hill--smaller than their mountain, richer and greener--younger and simply hasn't grown up yet. Moko and Alarick explore the natural process of erosion.

  • Illustration of mountains with a raincloud over the valley between them. Caption: Lakes provide not only drinkable water and water to spray crops,

    Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Moko wants to know what lies beyond the forest and decides to go find out. Totemie comes along and after a long walk they find a mountain village. Moko, who hasn't seen the ocean in a long time, is dreaming of seeing it again, but realizes that it will be awhile before they cross this mountain and see the sea. But then, they see boats and barges. Why would there be boats on a mountain? An old man comes to them and tells them that if it is the ocean one seeks, sometimes it can be found even on a mountain. Curious, Moko and Totemie walk on into the forest and discover what can only be an ocean atop the mountain, only here they don't say ocean or sea, but rather they call it a lake. Moko believes that this lake is here in order to console the people who cannot live beside the ocean.

  • Illustration of a pocket of water below the earth's surface. Caption: The water tables are nourished by the seeping-down rains.

    Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Moko learns about water tables and how streams develop. During the dry season, the river level drops and the remaining water turns to mud. He can't swim or drink the water. A man with a strange stick points the stick to the ground, and when Moko digs down there, water gushes out! Moko learns that even if no rain falls, Mother Earth could still be generous if you know the right way to ask her.

  • Illustration of a mountain with snow on the peak starting to melt down one side of the mountain. Caption: Some floods are triggered by mountain snows melting

    Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Moko and Mei-Lei are gathering seashells in between the rocks on the white sand beach to decorate the village's houses. Moko asks Mei-Lei if they can go to other beaches to try to find other shells. Mei-Lei likes the idea and goes to ask a fisherman to take them to another beach on his boat. Just beyond the village Moko sees a vast plain that has been flooded with water. He thinks this must have been the great wave, flooding the field with water so that the rice would grow. This is when Mei-Lei picks up a magnificent seashell and Moko believes that it must surely be a gift from the ocean. Moko and Mei-Lei make their way back home, carrying their gift and happy to have seen wonderful new places. They are certain that the ocean must know an underground passage in which it sends waves every now and then to feed the rivers and the fields.

    Three concentric circles around the nucleus of a hydrogen atom represent principal shells. These are named 1 n, 2 n, and 3 n in order of increasing distance from the nucleus. An electron orbits in the shell closest to the nucleus, 1 n.

    Figure 2.6 (OpenStax, Biology 2e) caption: In 1913, Niels Bohrs developed the Bohr model in which electrons exist within principal shells. An electron normally exists in the lowest energy shell available, which is the one closest to the nucleus. Energy from a photon of light can bump it up to a higher energy shell, but this situation is unstable, and the electron quickly decays back to the ground state. In the process, it releases a photon of light.

  • Illustration of sand dunes. Caption: Water on the surface of the ground evaporates quickly

    Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Moko had gone to see his friend, the wise old man who lives on the other side of the village. There were such pretty flowers that Moko could spend the entire day contemplating them. The old man picked a beautiful rose and handed it to Moko. But on the way back, the sun was so hot that the flower began to wilt. Moko was so sad that he laid the withered rose on the ground and started to cry. The wind rose, sweeping across the ground. Moko then saw that his rose was still there, more beautiful than ever and sparkling, its petals solid as stone. It had become a desert rose, as rare as water in the desert.

    In the first image, an oxygen atom is shown with six valence electrons. Four of these valence electrons form pairs at the top and right sides of the valence shell. The other two electrons are alone on the bottom and left sides. A hydrogen atom sits next to each the lone electron of the oxygen. Each hydrogen has only one valence electron. An arrow indicates that a reaction takes place. After the reaction, in the second image, each unpaired electron in the oxygen joins an electron from one of the hydrogen atoms so that the valence rings are now connected together. The bond that forms between oxygen and hydrogen can also be represented by a dash.

    Figure 2.9 (OpenStax, Biology 2e) caption: Two or more atoms may bond with each other to form a molecule. When two hydrogens and an oxygen share electrons via covalent bonds it forms a water molecule.

  • Illustration of a steep sand dune. Caption: We call these dunes singing dunes.

    Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Moko and Mei-Lei suddenly hear a continuous sound coming from beyond the beach. As they approach the hills, the sound gets louder and Mei-Lei is more frightened, so Moko decides to go around the dune on his own. As he does so, the sound changes and becomes more of a song. Moko returns and tells Mei-Lei that it is the sand and the ground singing together. Moko thinks that the magical dune is urging him to go on with his travels and he knows that this is likely his last day in the village.
