BEFORE WE BEGIN. This game is split into two portions: skimming and scanning. Improving these skills allows you to evaluate and consume information more effectively in real-world situations.

SKIMMING. Quickly look across the text and identify important words or ideas. It's fine to skip lines if they don't seem important.

SCANNING. Keep the information you're looking for in the front of your mind and move rapidly through the text to identify where it's likely to occur.

TIP: The type of content generally important in skimming is bolded.

❗️ Heads-up: To make most of this game, try setting a timer and reading the text in skimming within 45 seconds. Same for scanning part of the game. After having read the text, you can move on to the questions in skimming. In scanning, only 15 seconds are given to find the answer to the question from the text.

THE POWER OF THUNDERHEADS

EARTH'S LARGEST CLOUDS

Cumulonimbus are the largest of all clouds, billowing thousands of metres tall and producing violent storms capable of mass destruction. With their distinct anvil-shaped tops, these "thunderheads" can form as low as 600 metres and grow vertically as high as 15,000 metres. Because they form in the lower part of the atmosphere, called the troposphere, they are able to accumulate moisture from the ground to produce heavy precipitation.

Before a particularly severe storm, the updraft associated with the cloud is so powerful that it can reach the tropopause, or the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere. Mature cumulonimbus clouds are known to produce hail, heavy lightning, strong winds, and tornadoes.

One of the most extraordinary types of weather phenomena is a pyrocumulonimbus cloud, which is a cumulonimbus cloud that forms above sources of severe heat, like wildfires or volcanoes. Because of the ash and smoke in the atmosphere, they can produce black hail, or hail covered in soot. Researchers also believe these clouds are responsible for trapping pollutants in the upper atmosphere.
