How do volcanoes erupt? How are clouds and auroras formed? What about lunar eclipses and hurricanes? Natural phenomena, even in their most terrible and threatening manifestations, remind us that Earth is a planet capable of surprising us with its power!

The book tells about the Earth and its amazing 'special effects': both familiar phenomena like hail and rainbows, and the terrifying power of the elements - tornadoes, sandstorms, and much more. Here you will find world records, the laws of physics, and amazing historical facts about natural processes.

And most importantly, you can recreate many of these phenomena yourself: the book includes 15 experiments that will help you create your own tornado or grow stalactites at home!

For children aged 7 and up.
