Building Science concepts through real experiences.
Hurricanes are large, swirling storms. They produce winds of 119 kilometers per hour (74 mph) or higher. That’s faster than a cheetah, the fastest animal on land. Winds from a hurricane can damage buildings and trees. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters. Sometimes they strike land. When a hurricane reaches…

Even though both Weather and Climate are relatively similar and easy to understand, understanding the difference between the two is slightly complex. Before we dive into the blog’s main agenda, the question that arises is; why is it important to understand the difference between Climate and Weather? Global…
Every year, professional scientists from all across the globe gather to research, share their findings and go through a lengthy and tedious process of figuring out how the year has been temperature-wise. These findings help us figure out the hottest year and give us a fair idea about the future…
