From towering twisters and bone-chilling blizzards to pillowy white clouds and warm gentle breezes, this book from National Geographic Kids plunges into Earth's wild and wondrous weather--and includes loads of weird but true facts!

What's the difference between a hurricane, cyclone, and typhoon? What really makes all those magnificent colors of the rainbow? How can one side of a mountain be bone dry and the other lush with life?

This latest installment in the hit Weird But True! Know-It-All series uncovers the mysteries of our planet's weather and how it impacts our daily life, from simple things like what to wear to how to avoid deadly disasters. Ride along with intrepid storm chasers, see why lightning forms over volcanoes, pick up brr-illiant facts about Earth's coldest places, and marvel over incredible survival stories, including one about a man who was carried more than 1,300 feet through the air by a terrifying tornado--and lived to tell the tale. Plus, find out what high-tech gadgets and cutting-edge techniques scientists are using today to help predict the weather better in the future--and potentially save lives.

Jam-packed with photos, illustrations, and loads of surprising facts and stats, the Weird But True! Know-It-All series is the anything-but-boring way to boost your brain!
