Weather Explained

by Derek M. Elsom

Published 31 October 1997
This work takes readers on a journey through the clouds to observe how wind patterns affect the daily temperature, then back down to Earth to show the damage that storms and severed weather creates on the planet. By focusing on the causes and effects of climate, the book provides information that goes beyond television weather reports. The "Your World Explained" series presents diverse subjects in an interactive manner that explains to young minds the way things work in the world. Everyday analogies are used where possible to untangle complex ideas so that each subject is made relevant and approachable.
