分析 全文大意:
你也許聽過這種說法:"It's raining cats and dogs outside."它意思是外面在下傾盆大雨而不是真的貓和狗從天而降.然而1882年6月的一天,愛荷華州的迪比克市真的下青蛙了.在一場(chǎng)大暴風(fēng)雨期間青蛙和冰雹一起從天而降.冰雹是當(dāng)雨滴被大風(fēng)裹脅帶到高空形成的.在那里雨滴凍結(jié).很多雨滴凍結(jié)在一起形成冰;虮,然后落到地上.在迪比克的暴風(fēng)雨期間,強(qiáng)風(fēng)把附近池塘的小青蛙帶到空中和雨滴在一起,當(dāng)其中一些青蛙被冰覆蓋著,冰雹和"青蛙石"一同落在地上.
