Presentation transcript:

Which continent is the Sahara located on? Which countries make up the Sahara? Name 2 cities you find in the Sahara. What mountain range borders the North West side of the Sahara? What type of biome/ecosystem if the Sahara? What is the highest average annual temperature and in which month? What is the lowest average annual temperature and in which month? How much rain falls in the Sahara? How is temperature shown in a climate graph? How is the precipitation (rainfall) shown in a climate graph? Describe the climate of the Sahara in 2 words What are the differences between the Sahara desert climate and Beijing’s climate? What are the advantages of a climate graph? What are the disadvantages of a climate graph?

To describe the Sahara desert climate AF3 – describe the distribution of landforms/objects/events AF3 – describe differences in trends on graphs

True or False? Write down the true statements and correct the false: The Sahara is the world’s largest hot desert TRUE Antarctica and the Arctic are not known as deserts because they are too cold FALSE – They are known as COLD DESERTS The whole of the Sahara is made up of Sand Dunes FALSE – most is made up of rocky desert landscape The sand dunes can reach as high as 50m tall FALSE – some reach as high as 180 metres There has to be less than 250mm of rainfall to be named a desert

Where is the SAHARA located? Use the map and an Atlas to… Describe its location in no less than 30 words. The Sahara is located… Continent Hemisphere Lines of latitude Compass points Oceans Countries

REMEMBER BETTER MAPS HAVE SYMBOLS, A KEY and a TITLE SAHARA Using an Atlas, complete the following on the map of Africa: Colour in the extent of the Sahara desert in YELLOW or ORANGE. Name the countries located in the desert Label the mountain range in the North-West Label the Atlantic Ocean, Red Sea and the Mediterranean. Choose two countries in the Sahara and label their cities. REMEMBER BETTER MAPS HAVE SYMBOLS, A KEY and a TITLE EXTENSION – add the lines of latitude – Equator, Tropic of Cancer/Capricorn.

What does this graph show? This is a CLIMATE GRAPH. Climate graphs show how temperature and precipitation vary throughout the year for a particular place.

Sahara Desert Abu Dhabi What is the climate like in the Sahara Desert (Algeria)? How does it compare to the climate of Beijing?

Interpret the climate graph… 1. What is the climate like in the Sahara Desert (Algeria)? (100 words) Use the following to support your answer: Use the graph to describe the overall climate. Use data from the graph to support your description (better descriptions will use the data and months) 2. How does it compare to the climate of Abu Dhabi? (150 words) Use the graph to describe the climate in Abu Dhabi Describe how it is different to the climate of the Sahara. Use data from the graph to support your description and the differences in the climate Extension – Analyse the use of climate graphs – what are the advantages and disadvantages? KEY TERMS: hot, cold, wet, dry, temperature, precipitation AF3 – describe the trends and differences in trends in graphs

Interpret the climate graph… 1. What is the climate like in the Sahara Desert? Copy and complete the following sentences: Overall, the climate is… The highest temperature is… The lowest temperature is…. The highest precipitation level is…. The lowest precipitation level is… This type of climate is called… 2. How does it compare to the climate of Abu Dhabi? The climate in Abu Dhabi is colder/warmer/wetter/drier… compared to the Sahara… The highest temperature is… The lowest temperature is…. compared to the Sahara… The highest precipitation level is…. The lowest precipitation level is… compared to the Sahara… Extension – Analyse the use of climate graphs – what are the advantages and disadvantages? AF3 – describe the trends and differences in trends in graphs
