Description: See description for color version FC1086., Uses live-action photography and animation to explain how the earth is protected from extremes of heat and cold by the layer of atmosphere which surrounds it, how the sun's heat is distributed by moving air masses, and how the activities of cold and warm fronts produce constantly changing weather conditions over the surface of the earth. Shows the origins of weather--the uneven distribution of the sun's rays over the surface of the earth, the redistribution of the sun's heat from equator to poles by moving air, the origins and movements of cold and warm fronts, and the formation of local phenomena such as cumulonimbus clouds and thunderstorms.
