The United States experiences more tornadoes than anyother country in the world, with an average of about 1,200 per year. A region stretching across the central United States from Texas to South Dakota is known as Tornado Alley because tornadoes occur there so frequently.

She explained that meteorologists, the scientists who study weather, use much more advanced versions of the same tool to measure rainfall amounts. The class placed their rain gauge outside on the school playground and checked it every morning for two weeks. During that time, they recorded three rainstorms and measured a total of 1.8 inches of rain. \"Keeping accurate records over time is one of the most important parts of studying weather,\" Mrs. Park explained.\u003Cbr>How much total rain did the class record over two weeks?\u003Cbr>A. 3.2 inches\u003Cbr>B. 2.5 inches\u003Cbr>C. 0.9 inches\u003Cbr>D. 1.8 inches |  |  |  |  |\n| 3) Lightning is one of nature's most spectacular and dangerous phenomena, with a single bolt reaching temperatures of about 54,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That temperature is roughly five times hotter than the surface of the sun. Thunder is the sound created when lightning superheats the air around it, causing the air to expand rapidly and create a shockwave. You can estimate how far away a lightning strike is by counting the seconds between the flash and the thunder, then dividing by five to get the distance in miles. Scientists estimate that lightning strikes the Earth about 100 times every single second. How can you estimate the distance of a lightning strike in miles?\u003Cbr>A. Count seconds between flash and thunder, then divide by three\u003Cbr>B. Measure how loud the thunder sounds\u003Cbr>C. Count seconds between flash and thunder, then divide by five\u003Cbr>D.
