Extreme Weather
Severe storms happen in low-pressure weather systems. Warm, wet air rises into the air.
The higher it rises, the cooler it becomes. Water vapor in the air forms drops, a process called
condensation​. The drops join together to form clouds, and then precipitation of some kind (rain,
sleet, snow, or hail) will fall down to Earth’s surface.
Thunderstorms are the most common
kind of extreme weather. Before a
thunderstorm can develop, there have to
be three conditions present: moisture in
the air, unstable hot air, and lifting
mechanism. Thunderstorms often bring
disasters with them, including floods,
fires caused by lightning, damage from
hailstones or strong winds, and even
tornadoes.

A ​tornado is a spinning mass of air over land that can destroy

virtually everything in its path.

A ​hurricane is the most powerful storm known on Earth,

forming over warm ocean waters off the coast of the tropics.
Wind speeds can average about 75 miles per hour.
Hurricanes do the worst damage to coastal cities because they quickly lose their strength when
they move over land. Hurricanes are so large and powerful that their swirling clouds can be
seen from space.

A blizzard is a combination of strong winds

and extremely low temperatures. Snowfall
increases until it is so heavy it is difficult or
3impossible to see. People can become lost
in the snow and freeze to death.
