Description

Have you ever wondered how earthquakes shake the ground or what makes a blizzard different than a snowstorm?

Come along on a science adventure to learn all about natural weather events, how and where they form, the science behind them, safety tips and alerts to know if they do, and so much more through diagrams, illustrations, and informative and engaging text. Each of the six questions examined in the book are given a silly answer before the true answer is revealed making this an approachable way to learn nonfiction. Back matter includes a glossary and activities to further learning.

Questions answered in the book:

- How do hurricanes have an eye? Unlike the eyes we have, this one is calm and in the center of a massive storm!

- How do tornados get so strong? High wind speeds up the strength of a tornado.

- How do you know how much water is too much water? Too much water means there could be flooding, and not enough water means there could be a drought.

- How do earthquakes shake the ground? Tectonic plates bumping against each other can cause the ground to shake.

- How do tsunamis form? Underwater earthquakes can create massive waves.

- How do blizzards out-snow and out-freeze regular snowstorms? Blizzards require more wind, last longer, and lead to less visibility.

About the How Do series: These fully illustrated nonfiction picture books are a great introduction to various STEM topics. Each title includes facts and figures, simple diagrams and hilarious illustrations and is written in a question-and-answer format to encourage readers to ask questions and guess the answers before exploring the science behind the correct answers.
