Description
Tornadoes! (New & Updated Edition) by Gail Gibbons is an informative introduction to this fascinating phenomenon. When hot, humid air rises from the ground and meets with cooler, denser air, it can form a funnel-shaped cloud that pulls in more air to create powerful winds. The result is a tornado, which can reach speeds of over 261 miles per hour. This newly updated edition includes safety tips and features clear text, colorful paintings, and well-labeled diagrams to help explain the science behind tornadoes. Gail Gibbons shares over fifty facts about tornadoes, including how they form, the scale used for classifying them, and the safest places to go in case one happens near you. With its simple, kid-friendly approach, Tornadoes is an accessible introduction to complex weather topic that's perfect for young readers beginning to explore the world of science.
