North America from space. Elements furnished by NASA - https://www.noaa.gov/stories/what-are-atmospheric-rivers

How are they ranked? Students become familiar with this weather phenomena and learn how the different ARs are measured.

Are they all dangerous?

For Adventurer members we have an editable Word docx and our solutions.
