Presentation transcript:

Higher Higher Atmosphere Atmosphere The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone [Date] Today I will: Be introduced to the ITCZ Be able to describe the characteristics of the air masses which come together to form the ITCZ

Higher Atmosphere

Higher Atmosphere [Task One] Mark on the countries in West Africa. [Task Two] Neatly add in the Equator, Tropics and Oceans.

Higher Atmosphere

Higher Higher Atmosphere Atmosphere Describe the origin, nature and characteristics of the Maritime Tropical and Continental Tropical air masses. [6 marks] Maritime Tropical (mT) Name of Wind – South Western Monsoon Origin – Atlantic Ocean, in tropical latitudes Weather characteristics – hot, high humidity, warm Nature – unstable Continental Tropical (cT) Name of Wind - Harmattan Origin – Sahara Desert, in tropical latitudes Weather characteristics – hot/very hot, dry, low humidity, warm Nature – stable
