What is the polar vortex? And why does a disrupted "polar vortex" lead to extreme cold air outbreaks across Europe, Asia, and North America? Among the many "in case you were wondering" questions addressed:
How strong can a hurricane get? What's the biggest tornado to have ever happened? How large can hail get? Is "thundersnow" real? How does it form? How thick is lightning? And how powerful is it? Where can I find "fossilized lightning?" Can it snow in the desert? What are "solar storms?" What makes the northern (and southern) lights?
Weather, as one of the most accessible sciences, touches the lives of everyone in some way. Understanding the basics behind it naturally fosters interest in other scientific disciplines. That's why Extreme Weather for Kids also teaches the fundamental principles of scientific observation, while placing a strong emphasis on safety.
Extreme Weather for Kids is bound to ignite a passion for learning, rain or shine.
