Five Faces of Hurricane Mitch
http://earth.rice.edu/activities/earthupdate/activities/EUactivities/activity01.html


This activity features Hurricane Mitch, the second most deadly hurricane in Caribbean history. Students will study the storm using five different data sources to produce a more complete description of the storm's motion and structure. They will look at the path of the storm, amount of rainfall, infrared telemetry, a movie of flying inside the storm, and the size of the storm in order to answer the questions on the provided worksheet.
