Extreme Weather Events

Science · Weather & Climate · conceptual

Know about extreme weather events — hurricanes (spinning storms over warm ocean), tornadoes (violent rotating columns of air), floods, droughts, and blizzards — how they form, where they typically occur, and their effects on people and the environment

What mastery looks like

  • Describe how at least two types of extreme weather form
  • Explain where hurricanes and tornadoes typically occur and why
  • Describe the effects of extreme weather on communities and landscapes

Check your understanding

If Extreme Weather Events saw news about a hurricane, could they explain how it forms over warm ocean water, why it spins, and what makes it so destructive when it reaches land?
