Snow-covered mountains may look peaceful, but beneath their icy surface, nature is always at work. Packed snow layers shift, hidden weak spots form, and in just moments, an avalanche can thunder down a slope with unstoppable force. This book dives deep into the science behind these powerful events, exploring how and why they happen, the different types of avalanches, and the real-life impact they have on people, animals, and landscapes.
Through thrilling true stories, jaw-dropping facts, and hands-on experiments, young readers will uncover the hidden world of snow and ice. From record-breaking snowfalls to the fastest avalanches ever recorded, this book unravels the mysteries of moving mountains of snow. It explains the tools scientists use to study avalanche-prone areas, the technology that helps predict when one might strike, and the safety gear that can mean the difference between life and disaster.
Packed with adventure, exploration, and fascinating discoveries, this book is perfect for curious kids who love science, nature, and extreme weather. Whether they dream of skiing down snowy peaks or just want to understand the forces shaping the winter world, this deep dive into the wild power of snow is as exciting as it is informative.
