- Synopsis
- From the book jacket: Hurricanes are the largest, fiercest storms our atmosphere is capable of producing. Their destructive power can equal that of a one-megaton hydrogen bomb. Today, meteorologists are able to determine where hurricanes begin; predict their size, path, and force; and estimate the damage they will do. Hurricanes explains the behavior, history, and scientific advances in our understanding of these monster storms. The Dangerous Weather series imparts fundamental weather science to readers through author Michael Allaby's vivid descriptions of extreme weather systems. The series focuses on the five most dangerous kinds of weather activity; diagrams related meteorological, climatological, and environmental basics in clear, compelling language; chronicles the history of each form of dangerous weather; and offers safety precautions for extreme weather conditions. Fully illustrated and indexed, the Dangerous Weather series is an invaluable tool for student research.
