Wildfires / by Samantha S. Bell.

Bell, Samantha, (author.).

Summary:

"Natural disasters are powerful and dangerous. The strong winds of hurricanes and tornadoes knock down buildings. Volcanic eruptions release deadly lava and clouds of ash. Wildfires burn through forests and towns. Droughts threaten important crops. And blizzards can kill with freezing temperatures and blowing snow. The information-packed Early Natural Disaster Encyclopedias are engaging introductions to these topics, giving readers all they need to know about these fascinating natural disasters."-- Back cover.
