Nature is unpredictable…by nature! This book chronicles the world’s worst natural catastrophes and reveals the causes behind the disasters. It will also introduce children to interesting facts about the disasters as they occurred as well as their consequences.
Wind is one of the strongest forces of nature. Its energy can be harnessed and used in many ways. But uncontrolled wind can create havoc. The faster it moves, the stronger it gets; blowing away everything in its path — trees, houses, buildings and people. As it moves around the earth it shows its destructive nature through storms, cyclones and tornadoes. How does wind turn itself into a whirling pillar filled with thunderstorms? What can we do to protect ourselves from this disaster? Read this book to find out.
The earth we live on feels so firm under our feet. And yet its surface is made up of slowly moving plates and inside is a core of liquid rock and metal. Sometimes the plates move a little too quickly. They bump into each other or one slides under the other. At such times the earth shakes and rocks everything that is standing on it. Cracks appear and through it spews red-hot lava. As the ground shifts under the ocean large volumes of water are displaced and moved from one place to another. This is the inside story of our planet. What happens when the earth moves? Earthquakes! Volcanoes! Tsunamis!
Hunting Nature's Fury by Roger Hill,Peter Bronski Pdf
Each year, at least 1,200 tornadoes batter the United States. While most occur in Tornado Alley--a vast, weather-beaten swath of middle America-in truth, tornadoes can occur almost anywhere. And where there are tornadoes, there are storm chasers. They come in all shapes and sizes, from hobbyists to researchers to professional chasers. There is one, however, who stands well above the rest: Roger Hill. Hunting Nature's Fury tells the story of Roger Hill and his love affair with storm chasing, taking you on a suspenseful and dramatic ride across the Great Plains, into the Deep South, even into the eyes of such recent hurricanes as Katrina. You'll accompany Hill as he braves close calls, makes history, and gains insight into the science of severe weather. This is a story of a storm chaser obsessed with the storms that almost killed him; of resiliency in the face of disaster; and of humility in the presence of the awesome power of nature. Includes eight color pages of jaw-dropping photos taken by Hill showing many of the storms chronicled in the book.

Rowan faces her most dangerous monster-slaying challenge yet, confronting what could be the most infamous monster of all, in the third book in this fantastical series by New York Times bestselling author, Kelley Armstrong. Rowan is Tamarel's Royal Monster Hunter, and her twin brother, Rhydd, will be its king. After the events of The Gryphon's Lair, Rowan, along with her friends, her brother and an entourage of monstrous companions, makes her way back to the Dunnian Woods to deal with the pack of dropbears the group trapped in an abandoned cabin after a vicious attack. The dropbears are just one of a number of rare monster species acting erratically in Tamarel. After a swarm of colocolos nearly tramples the group, Rowan becomes convinced that someone (or something) is driving these monsters out of their natural habitats. But nothing can prepare the Royal Monster Hunter for the truth of the matter: monsters even bigger and deadlier than gryphons have returned to the world, and their nest-building, as well as the actions of the humans trying to drive them out, has upset the balance of nature in Tamarel. Do Rowan's "monster magnet" skills work against the most fearsome monsters imaginable? Find out in this exciting third book in the Royal Guide to Monster Slaying series!
