Planet Earth Storm
DESCRIPTION: Planet Earth Storm... Man lives at the bottom of a dense and turbulent sea of gases. This mix of nitrogen, oxygen, argon and carbon dioxide collectively known as air is perhaps 10 miles deep, and is perpetually in motion, with tremendous eddies and currents swirling and flowing at different speeds, pressures and temperatures. Frequently, when volatile air masses collide or otherwise interact, storms sweep across the earth's surface; each day thousands of tempests of one sort or another vent their fury around the globe. A single thunderstorm can release 125 million gallons of water and discharge enough heat to supply the entire United States with electrical power for 20 minutes. A full-blown hurricane will multiply these values an astronomical 12,000 times.
