Discover Nature in the Weather Things to know and Things to Do

Meteorology explores the earth's weather and attempts to explain the various phenomena associated with it, from the continuous movement of water in the hydrologic cycle to dangerous funnel clouds that appear during a storm. Careful observation can reveal clues to the workings of weather: Why does the rain fall? What causes the wind to blow? How does a cloud form? This book answers these questions, providing a practical and entertaining guide to understanding the behaviour of the sky. It also offers hands-on experiments using common household items.
