2. 3. Detect patterns in the distribution of 2.3 Detect patterns in the distribution of temperatures on the earth’s surface

2. 3. 1 Generalize that temperatures 2.3.1 Generalize that temperatures tend to decrease as latitude increases Graphic Representation shows decreased temperature with increased latitude. # 13 P. 58 Thermal Photography shows the same. #14 p. 59

2. 3. 2. Describe how the earth’s shape causes * 2.3.2 Describe how the earth’s shape causes temperature to decrease as you move North or South from the equator. Fig. 4.3 p. 56 At “E” (Equator) smaller surface area per unit of light Therefore more heat intensity At “F” (poles) larger surface area per unit of light Therefore less heat intensity Round Shape of the earth gives the different surface areas.

2.3.3 Know seasons are reversed in Northern & southern Hemispheres Date North South June Summer Solstice Winter Sept. Fall Equinox Spring Dec. March

2.3.3 practice What season is it in __?__ : Canada when it is spring in South Africa Argentina when it is winter in Norway Greenland when it is Fall in India Mexico when it is summer in south Australia

2.3.4 Access the accuracy of Temperature descriptions Comment on each of the following statements. Some are incorrect! The farther South you go the warmer it gets. Most cold but habitable locations are in the north. The west coast of South and North America are warmer than the east Try #14 p. 59
