Climate Zones

Objectives: SWBAT: define climate and climate zone SWBAT: identify the three climate zones on a map using the five lines of latitude SWBAT: describe the three climate zones

Key Point: 1.Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in an area. The _______of a place is based on its temperature (hot/cold) and precipitation (how much rain/snow fall).

Expectations: Loud whisper voice Talk ONLY to your elbow partner Put your thumbs up when you are finished Think-Pair-Share

The Earth is lopsided?!

CLIMATE is the average temperature and precipitation (rain and snow) that happens in a place over an entire year.

CLIMATE ZONE is an area in the world that has the SAME climate throughout the year.

Make an inference (educated guess)…

Key Point: 2. Based on their __________location, different parts of the world will be in one of three climate zones: polar zone, temperate zone and tropical zone.

Key Point 3. The names of the zones focus on the ___________one would expect to experience in each climate zone; precipitation levels within the zones can vary from dry to wet.

Key Points: 6. The _______zone is located north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle. It is cold through-out the year because it is furthest from the equator.

What do you think when you hear the word “polar”?

POLAR

Key Point 4. The tropical zone is located between the _______________ and Tropic of Capricorn; it is hot through-out the year because it is closest to the equator.

What do you think when you hear the word “tropical”?

Key Points: 1. Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in an area. The climate of a place is based on its temperature (hot/cold) and precipitation (how much rain/snow fall). 2.Based on their latitudinal location, different parts of the world will be in one of three climate zones: polar zone, temperate zone and tropical zone. 3. The names of the zones focus on the temperatures one would expect to experience in each climate zone; precipitation levels within the zones can vary from dry to wet. 4. The tropical zone is located between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn; it is hot through-out the year because it is closest to the equator. 5. The temperate zone is located between the Tropic of Cancer and Arctic Circle and between the Tropic of Capricorn and Antarctic Circle. Temperatures range from hot and cold temperatures throughout the year. 6. The polar zone is located north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle. It is cold through-out the year because it is furthest from the equator.
