Review Seasons

Insolation  Light Goes through more atmosphere  Same amount of light, spread over more Earth

Insolation Reading Electromagnetic Radiation travels 93 million miles from the sun to the earth Insolation – Incoming Solar Radiation Insolation Gets to earth as visible light and infrared. 2 reasons we have less solar radiation at the poles: (see diagram) Earth’s Tilt (surface area) Energy is absorbed by atmosphere Energy is transported through air and water currents from the equator to the poles

April 20 Describe the climate here in Renton, WA

Statements Add your statement to the side of the whiteboard you think it belongs.

Definitions: Weather: is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, and its short-term variation in minutes to weeks. Climate: is the weather of a place averaged over a period of time Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get.

Climate is what we expect, Weather is what we get. Create a T-chart of the top half of the page. Left column “Weather” Right column “Climate” Copy Down 3 Statements from each.

Weather VS Climate Fall here tends to be dry and cool The temperature is currently 3°C Our warmest month is August We average 200 inches of snow each winter. There is a hurricane affecting the Gulf Coast. The nighttime low for Wednesday is expected to be -5°C The fog makes driving difficult I will need a warm jacket for the winter. I need to wear a sweater and long pants today. The leaves are turning colors and falling off the trees earlier this year because the days and nights are cooler than normal. The average temperature in the spring is around 60°C The wind is blowing.

4/25 Warm-up What are two reasons that the equator is warm and the poles are cold? 1. The equator receives more direct sunlight. 2. There is less atmosphere for the sun’s radiation to go through.

Graph the annual temperature of your two cities on a piece of graph paper in your science journal (just like you did for latitude.) Make sure to: Label your graphs appropriately (title, axis titles, key, etc)

Singapore, Malaya 1°N 104°E Calcutta, India 23°N 88°E Washington, D.C. 39°N 77°E Moscow, U.S.S.R. 56°N 37°E January February March April May June July August September October November December Annual Mean Range

Answer the following questions in your journal. USE COMPLETE SENTENCES. 1. What is the difference between your two cities? Which city has a higher temperature? The lowest? Which has a higher range? 2. They are both in very similar latitudes. Why do you think there is such a large difference between the two?

Find a partner with different cities. Write down your new cities. 3. Which of their cities had higher temperature and range? 4. Where were they located? 5. Is there a pattern between the temperatures between your pair of cities and your partners cities even though they were in different locations? Come up with an explanation why!

The city inland has more extreme temperatures Water makes climate more mild. Water takes a very long time to heat or cool

Think of the ocean like a rechargeable climate battery In the summer the ocean stores energy… In winter it releases it. Places by the ocean will have cooler summers and warmer winters. January temp is 45 July temp is 53 The energy stored in the ocean regulates climate to make it less extreme
