Library Binding
(Compass Point Books Jan. 1, 2009)
Have you ever experienced a hurricane? You certainly have read about them. During hurricane season, these storms are front-page news. A hurricane is one of the largest and most powerful weather events in nature. These giant storms form on the open sea. They cause strong winds and flooding that can endanger property and life. Scientists study hurricanes to understand how and why they form. Some fly airplanes into the center of the storm to gather data. They also work to predict these storms so that people can be prepared. Headline Science uses news stories and everyday applications to explain the science behind hurricanes.
