Product Information

The science of weather is an intricate, sometimes exasperating, puzzle with countless pieces that interact and change among themselves.
Designed by the people who gave us the style-setting USA Today weather page, this scientifically accurate, easy to understand text will help students make sense of the weather.
Chapters look at wild weather: the concentrated violence of tornadoes, supercells: the king of thunderstorms, and those monsters from the tropics, hurricanes; what causes them and how we are trying to predict them.
Great nature photography, detailed and dynamic charts and graphs, historical photographs of our nation’s greatest storms and their aftermath, and computer generated images combine to explain how the sun causes weather; types of winds and why they blow; storms and fronts; what makes rain, snow and ice; and so much more.
Closes by looking at sky-watching, pondering the future, and even addressing why the sky is blue. Appendices, bibliography, index. 227 pp., softcover.
