Sally's Storm Study
Sally was always curious about the world around her. One day, after a thunderstorm, she asked her father, 'Dad, what are storms?' Her father smiled, 'Storms are a powerful display of nature, Sally. They form when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air.' 'But there are different types of storms, right?' Sally asked. 'Yes,' her father replied, 'like hurricanes that occur over warm ocean waters, tornadoes that spin over land, and blizzards that happen in cold regions.' Sally was fascinated, 'But are storms dangerous?' Her father nodded, 'They can be, but if we stay prepared, we can stay safe.' Sally learned a lot that day. Storms, she thought, were not just about rain and thunder, but a complex part of the Earth's weather system.
