  have even walked through a cloud but you probably
  did not know it. Fog is a cloud that is on or
  around the ground.

  to condense.

  winter months, and higher during the summer.

Hurricanes Pedro, Melvin, Quashon

• Hurricanes are very dangerous. The speed of a
  hurricane is very fast. It can move as fast 190
  miles per hour. It can get up to 300 miles long.
  The eye of a hurricane is in the center. It
  offers people a break in the weather for a while.
  Hurricanes begin over warm, tropical bodies of
  water.
• The US calls these storms Hurricanes. In the
  Pacific Ocean hurricanes are called Tsunamis. A
  typhoon is a hurricane in the Philippines or the
  China Sea. There are no differences between the
  three except in the places they happen.

RAINby Iassac, Mark, Ricardo

• Raindrops are very small rarely more then17 mm
  or.02.
• Sometimes rain can be hard and it falls like
  marbles.
• Rain is important to all life forms.

• Rain occurs when moisture in the atmosphere falls
  to earth.
• Raindrops form in clouds when tiny water droplets
  join to make large drops, and fall to the Earth
  as rain. Snow sleet and hail are forms of rain
  too.

THE SUNBy Lissette Santiago, Angely Gutierrez
Elizabeth Arzan

• The sun is the source of energy.
• The sun is a star. That is a ball of glowing
  gases At all times, the Earth is rotating around
  the sun. The Earth spins as it rotates and this
  is responsible for day, when the sun shines, and
  night when it doesnt shine.
• North America is tilted away from the sun causing
  cool weather. The sun is the source of energy
  which drives the weather. All of the heat and
  light on Earth comes from the sun.

• Tornadoes are very dangerous storms.
• Tornadoes look like a spinning funnels they reach
  speeds of 400 miles per hour.
• As they travel they jump around the land, taking
  anything in their path

Tornadoesby Chris and Michael

• Tornadoes are much smaller then hurricanes. As
  hot air touches cold air it makes a little funnel
  cloud. When the wind blows it makes a tornado.
• Tornadoes are violent because of their speed.
• As hot air spins upward, the tornado spins
  around.
