More than just a book on 'tornadoes and other dramatic weather systems', this is jammed full of other interesting facts......,,
By
This review is from: Tornadoes (Mega Bites) (Paperback)
`Tornadoes and other dramatic weather systems.'
`It's a weird world out there........dazzle your mates with mad facts and much more in this mega new series! In Oklahoma, a herd of cattle were sucked up by a tornado and put back unharmed! A hurricane can be 800 km wide and create a sea surge as high as a three-storey house! The sun's rays are a sizzling 5500 degrees C!' 96 shiny, high quality pages, split over 12 main chapters:- Introduction What is weather? Calm skies, angry skies Tornadoes Waterspouts and dusty devils Hurricanes Below freezing Too much rain Deadly drought Special effects Polluting the air Weather watchers with a reference section, including glossary and a concise index. Packed full of colour pictures and `weird world notes', e.g. `Death Valley in the US got its name in 1849 when 30 people used the valley as a shortcut to the goldfields. Air temperatures of 57 degrees C caused 12 people to die from heatstroke.' or `The sky looks blue because when blue light hits air molecules it scatters all over the sky, while all the other colours pass straight through the air to the ground.'
