Product Information How was the atmosphere created? What causes hurricanes? How does a tornado begin? These are just some of the questions answered in Wonders of Weather. Produced by the Discovery Channel, Wonders of Weather reminds us that the weather is a constant source of amazement and awe. Includes dramatic footage of nature at its most fierce. Watch as meteorologists track a cyclone, and follow a pack of storm chasers as they pursue a tornado in action. Students will witness Tree-bending hurricanes. Terrifying twisters. Rain the color of blood. And more! After viewing this program, students will understand that a tornado is a vortex; a vortex is a spiral motion of fluid that sucks everything near it toward its center; In the case of a tornado, the fluid is air; a thunderstorm may draw up air from the ground, creating unstable combinations of rising and falling air and resulting in a violent rotating storm. If the storm touches the ground, a tornado is born; and that a tornado can cause devastating damage.  Tell a Friend about this item
