From wild tornadoes to blinding blizzards, learn what makes our climate and weather work in this stunning visual guide. Fiercer hurricanes, hungrier wildfires, flash floods, and desertification are becoming a part of daily life as our climate shifts and changes. Weather covers the most important areas of this timely topic, delivering up-to-date expert information on everything from the water cycle to winds, cloud galleries, fog, and snow, and from extreme weather like hurricanes, supercell tornadoes, firestorms, and dust storms to the people who predict them and try to save others. Beautifully laid out images of weather objects and processes using satellite imagery, time-lapse photography, and eyewitness reportage put readers in the eye of the storm for close-up learning. A must-read for curious young scientists interested in the weather systems that shape our world.
