WELCOME TO WORLD GEOGRAPHY TOPIC.1: Reason for the Seasons QUESTIONS.1: How does the relationship between the Sun and Earth create the seasons? 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI /WORLD GEOGRAPHY

WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY 1.7 INDEPENDENT PRACTICE Season The combination of the Earth’s tilt and it’s position during it’s orbit combine to create the different season’s through out the year. 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY

WELCOME TO WORLD GEOGRAPHY UNIT.2: Climate and Weather TOPIC.2: L.A.C.E.M.O.P.S.: Factors that effect climate QUESTIONS.2: What is the difference between weather and climate? 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI /WORLD GEOGRAPHY

O.P.T.I.C.:A Visual Analysis Activity 1.7 PREVIEW O.P.T.I.C.:A Visual Analysis Activity 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY

WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY 1,7 DISCOVER WEATHER Weather: the daily condition of the atmosphere. Includes temperature and precipitation Copywrite: Gwen Brunet, 1995 http://www.katrina-hurricane.biz/images/katrina-hurricane-pic3.jpg 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY

WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY 1.7 DISCOVER Temperature The sun’s rays that reach the earth are absorbed by land, water, and air, or reflected back into space. Heat is trapped in our atmosphere by the Greenhouse Effect 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY

WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY 1.7 DISCOVER Extreme Weather Usually occurs with low pressure systems. Types of Extreme Weather Thunderstorms Tornados Tropical Storms (Hurricanes, Typhoons, Cyclones) Monsoons Drought Blizzards 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY

WNOROWSKI /PRWORLD GEOGRAPHY Latitude Most important factor The farther away from the Equator the colder and drier it becomes. Direct rays of the sun are always between the Tropics. Areas outside the Tropics receive indirect sun rays. 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI /PRWORLD GEOGRAPHY

Latitude: Earth Sun Relations 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY

WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY Air Masses In the northern hemisphere, cold air from the polar regions come from the north. Hot air from the Tropics comes from the south. The opposite occurs in the southern hemisphere. 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY

WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY Continentality Water moderates climate because water takes longer to heat and cool than land. Areas inland from the coast will be hotter in the summer and colder in the winter than areas with the same latitude on the coast. Mongolia…continental climate 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY

WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY Elevation Temperature drops as you rise in elevation. It decreases 3.5o F for every 1,000 ft increase in elevation. If a mount peak is 10,000 ft, and the base is 75o F. What is the temperature at the peak? 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY

WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY Mountain Barriers Mountains can stop storms and air masses. Wind containing moisture hits the windward side of a mountain, and precipitation occurs. Windward sides of mountains have lush vegetation. After the precipitation occurs, the clouds have no moisture and are able to rise over the mountain. The Leeward side is then arid and receives the rain shadow effect. Deserts are often found on the leeward side of mountains. 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY

WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY Ocean Currents Cold currents help create dry conditions. Warm currents help create warm conditions. The Atacama desert on the western South American coast was formed partially because of a cold ocean current. Warm currents like the GULF STREAM and NORTH ATLANTIC DRIFT, help keep Europe’s temperatures moderate even though they are located at very high latitudes. 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY

WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY Ocean Currents 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY

Pressure and Prevailing Winds High Pressure is heavy, cold air. Low pressure is warm, light air. Heated air rises. There are some fairly constant air pressure systems. 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY

WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY Storms Where polar winds meet Westerlies there are storms. When hot air masses and cold air masses collide-there are storms. Cyclonic storms in the northern Hemisphere spin counter-clockwise. Clockwise in the southern hemisphere. 11/27/2018 WNOROWSKI / WORLD GEOGRAPHY
