Weather Things: Energy

The atmosphere is dynamic and forever changing to maintain balance. The ingredients of air, sunlight and water allow life to exist on Earth, but they also generate calm scenes like rainbows, as a tornado ends. All storms move moisture, heat and even electricity around the planet. All human activity from transportation to recreation to public health is closely tied to weather so understanding, predicting and respecting it are critical. The field of meteorology is wide-reaching, and the sky is amazing.
