Some places on Earth experience seemingly nonstop rain, while others have gone hundreds of years without a single drop of precipitation.

Readers (Grades 3-5)will find out why climates can be so different from one place to another, how extreme weather can cause natural disasters, and what effects precipitation can have on the natural landscape. They will also find out how people living in extremely wet or dry areas have adapted to the extreme weather of their homes.
