Wind & Climate Wind – the horizontal movement of air. Low pressure – warm air rising. High pressure – cold air falling. Winds always blow from high pressure.

Starter task: What am I? 1.For 10 points: I am extremely large (up to 480 miles across) 2.For 9 points: I form in the tropics 3.For 8 points: I have four different names depending on where I form 4.For 7 points: I have an ‘eye’. 5.For 6 points: I need warm and deep seas to form 6.For 5 points: I used to only get given girls names! 7.For 4 points: I can cause lots of damage when I dissipate my energy. 8.For 3 points: I have very strong winds and lots of moisture! 9.For 2 points: I am a low pressure weather event WHAT AM I?

Tropical storms Aims: To be able to describe where tropical storms form and understand why they form in these locations.

Why do Hurricanes form here? Fill in the story board whilst watching the Hurricane animation. Click link above for animation

Exam questions Describe the location of where tropical storms form (3 marks). Explain why Tropical Storms occur in these parts of the world (3 marks).

Describe the location of where tropical storms form (3 marks). Mark scheme 3 locational points needed. These could include: They form between the equator and tropic of Cancer/Capricorn (1). The firm to the north and south of the equator (1) Could mention a specific ocean for (1) Could say to the east of Asia/North of Australia for (1)

Explain why Tropical Storms occur in these parts of the world (3 marks). MARK SCHEME Oceans have deep seas which are needed for formation (1) Around the equator are warm seas (above 27 degrees) which are needed for formation (1) as air will rise to form a low pressure system (1) rising moist air then condenses forming the thick clouds and heavy rain (1) At the equator, the trade winds help the storm to spin (1).

Mini Quiz 10 Questions 1.What is the minimum temperature needed for Hurricanes to form? 2.Do air particles move from areas of low to high pressure or from areas of high to low pressure to create winds? 3.What is the name of the winds which blow from the equator and start to spin the Hurricane? 4.When the clouds stretch over such a large distance they are effected by the rotation of the earth this is known as the ______ effect? 5.What is the name given to the centre of a Hurricane?
