As evidenced by the 1815 eruption of Indonesia Mt. Tambora, volcanoes can profoundly impact the weather, producing lightning, ash and acid rain.
AD
Water levels rise up to 50 feet at high tide in Canada's Bay of Fundy, while the Turnagain Arm in Alaska experiences 10-foot-high tidal "bore waves."
AD
A visit to the researchers at a Colorado storm lab and an examination of lake-effect snow in northern New York reveal the science of blizzards.
AD
A metallic core at the center of the Earth turns the planet into a magnet, generating a field that protects life on the surface from cosmic radiation.
AD
Earth's distance from the sun is just right to sustain life, with neighbors Venus and Mars illustrating the impact of a slight difference in location.
AD
Earthquakes can actually affect Earth's gravity, and the ability of scientists to map gravitational fiels has uncovered mysterious anomalies.
AD
Tsunamis form in the open ocean before making toward land. Science seeks not only to understand these giant waves but also predict them.
AD
Raindrops aren't only formed from condensed water vapor; some result from micrometeorites, and others deliver bacteria from the upper atmosphere.
