Weather and Climate (Kingfisher Young Discoverers Geography Facts & Experiments)

Offering an activity-based introduction to geography, this series introduces concepts gradually and simply, and supports them with activities which aim to be both easy and enjoyable - from building a gushing geyser and making a sundial to designing a Treasure Island map. Panel boxes provide real-life analogies, such as showing how toffee sets hard to illustrate how lava turns to rock. Focusing on weather and climate, this book starts with a description of weather, climate - with a map of climates around the world - and seasons. Each element of the changing weather is explained and inter-linked, from the power of the sun to windy, cloudy and rainy days, and other topics include violent weather, weather pollution, and forecasting. The book ends with an activity on setting up a weather station, using the instruments made throughout the course of the book.
