Tornadoes
Tornadoes
- "twisters" - are the
most terrifying and most dangerous winds
anyone can hope never to experience. Most
descend out of huge, black storm clouds,
but there are exceptions. There are an average
1,000 tornadoes in
America every year. That is more than anywhere
else, but tornadoes can and do happen in
Britain.
The revised edition of Tornadoes has been
fully updated and expands on the popular
first edition. It explains what tornadoes
are, how they develop, where they happen,
and what they can do. It describes some of
the freak effects they produce - such as
demolishing one half of a building while
leaving the other half unscathed.
"Tornadoes" will tell you, in
simple language, everything you ever wanted
to know about twisters, whirlwinds, waterspouts,
dust devils, water devils, and spinning air
in all its forms. It will appeal to students
and teachers, but also to the general reader.
