Twisting tornadoes leveled small towns in Florida. Floods washed out roads and homes in Peru. Severe droughts in Indonesia caused roaring forest fires, leaving animals starving. Is it possible that all these deadly disasters were caused by the same weather event? Yes, and its name is El Nino. This weather pattern causes a pool of warm water to form in the Pacific Ocean, which impacts climate conditions around the world. El Nino also has a dangerous little sister, La Nina. Author Carmen Bredeson explores the causes and effects of El Nino and La Nina, and looks at stories from survivors and rescue workers that have seen their wrath.
On March 11, 2011, an earthquake rumbled off the coast of Japan in the Pacific Ocean. Buildings trembled, some collapsing, and fires started, but the earthquake had stirred up something even deadlier: a tsunami. A colossal wave surged inland, burying parts of the island nation in muddy, debris-filled water. The tsunami consumed buildings, crushed houses, and swept people away. The disaster caused catastrophic damage and loss of life. How can an earthquake deep in the ocean cause this much death and destruction? Author Mary Dodson Wade examines the causes of tsunamis, where they occur, and gives firsthand accounts from survivors of the deadliest waves.
Explores the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and how that event has sculpted societies, the sciences, and politics.
