Explain some of the factors that affect weather and climate.
Uneven heating of the Earth
Wind/Air
Ocean Currents
The uneven heating of the Earth means areas near the equator are hotter than places near the poles. It also makes the wind move. The wind currents curve and blow the surface ocean currents. Air masses also create different weather when they collide. The ocean currents can be cold or warm, which can make the landmasses they are close to colder or warmer.

This is a line that describes the mom's actions after the father gets angry:
"I watch as she and coach chase Dad's tornado... I watch as she slowly brings him back from wind and cloud."
What kind of figurative language is this? How does this language effectively convey the author's meaning?
This is a metaphor. It compares the father to a tornado and how the mom brings him back to human form without using "like" or "as."
This is effective because it compares the father to something larger than life. He is not just angry, he is a natural disaster. It adds drama and helps the visual.
