Earth’s Climate System Air and Ocean Circulation

Vertical temperature change ● Temperature – there are 3 temperature zones in the ocean. ● Surface to 200 meters – warmed by the Sun. ● Thermocline: 200.

Notes – Surface Currents

CLIMATE AND WEATHER. CLIMATES OF THE WORLD A climate is a long-term pattern of air temperatures and precipitation. Earth has 3 major climate zones on.

 Currents are steady, smooth movements of water following a specific course.  They proceed either in a cyclical pattern or as a continuous stream.

RECAP CLIMATE ZONES!. What influences climatic zones There are 5 factors which affect climate. These are summarized below: Latitude Temperature range.

Solar Energy & The Greenhouse Effect The driving energy source for heating of Earth and circulation in Earth’s atmosphere is solar energy (AKA the Sun).

Warm air near the Earth’s surface rises and then cools as it goes back up. Convection happens on a global scale in the atmosphere and causes global winds,

Global Weather Do Nows

What is a surface current and what creates it? Do Now # 1 pg. 82 What is a surface current and what creates it? What is a deep ocean current and what creates it? What is the difference between a deep Ocean Current and a Surface Current.

Do Now # 2 p.82 We observed that the warm currents start at the equator and travel towards the poles. Why do you think this pattern occurs? We observed that the cold currents start at the poles and travel towards the equator? Why? Why do you think the gyres in the Northern Hemisphere travel clockwise and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere? What makes the Gyres travel in a circular pattern?

What are the factors that affect Ocean Surface Currents? Do Now # 3 NEW PAGE P. 61 What are the factors that affect Ocean Surface Currents? Why do the currents curve into circles? Which Direction do you think Global winds blow? Why???

Why is it coldest at the poles? Do Now #4 Part 1 pg. 61 Looking at the climate zones map (on pg. 57), you see it is hottest at the equator. Explain why you think it is hottest at the equator. Why is it coldest at the poles?

Do Now #4 (draw this) pg. 61 Same Size patch of land receives a smaller proportion of the Sun’s energy.

D. Why is it cold and dry at the poles? Do Now #4 Part 2 pg. 61 C. Looking at the climate zones map (pg. 57) you see it is not only hottest at the equator but also the wettest creating a tropical zone. Explain why you think it is so rainy at the equator? D. Why is it cold and dry at the poles?

Do Now # 5 New Page pg. 65 Why do global winds curve? At what latitude would you expect the climate to be hot and wet? At what latitude would you expect the climate to be cooler and wet? What 2 North latitudinal bands would you find High pressure zones?

Do Now # 6 pg. 65 Use this image of a small creature and give it 2 different adaptations for each of the 4 main biomes we learned. (TRF, Deciduous, Tundra, Desert)

Do Now # 7 pg. 65 Use this image of a plant and give it 2 different adaptations for each of the 4 main biomes we learned. (TRF, Deciduous, Tundra, Desert)
