Mapping the Weather Visiting Fellow John Wood

Many maps present weather patterns, which can aid in helping people predict hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, and other forms of extreme weather. These maps can help people understand the normal patterns of everyday weather as well. Readers are introduced to these kinds of weather maps through accessible main text. Detailed diagrams, useful graphic organizers, interesting fact boxes, and full-color examples of maps serve as additional resources to help readers understand this science and social studies curriculum topic.
