Meteorology
Es un libro para niños de 10 años sobre los huracanes. Sé lo que significa, pero, ¿cuál podría ser una forma simpática y simple de decirlo? (está al final):
Hurricanes have fairly humble beginnings. They usually start as a few thunderstorms. Sometimes light winds blow those storms together to form a monster thunderstorm. A monster thunderstorm is dangerous, but it’s no hurricane.
Sometimes storm clouds blow together. They can form a whirlpool cloud. If the winds in the cloud reach 74 miles per hour, you have a hurricane. When that happens, weather forecasters are in for a rough ride.
