While natural disasters might seem horrifically random, scientists can explain quite a lot about why they happen, how they develop, how we can try to prevent them, and how we can predict where and when they'll happen next. The Science of Natural Disasters: When Nature and Humans Collide invites kids 12 to 15 to explore the science behind earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and wildfires.
