1. Bellwork 3/1
What are 4 ways that could cause temperature to vary in a given location?

2. Heads up: Friday March 3rd—wrap up & review
Review guide will be provided
Atmosphere Test on Tuesday March 7th
Next unit: Clouds & Precipitation!!

3. What can we do with these temperature variations?
Map average temperature
Predict future temperature changes
Create maps showing temperature distribution
 nationally & globally

4. Isotherms: Line on a map that connects points of equal temperature
Allows us to easily see temperature distribution in an area

5. How to draw Isotherms…?
1. Isotherms are drawn in ten-degree intervals.
2. Temperatures lower than the isotherm value are always on one side of the isotherm and higher temperatures are on the other side.
3. Draw an isotherm until it reaches the end of the plotted data or closes off a loop
4. Neighboring isotherms tend to take similar paths.
5. Isotherms never cross and never split or fork.
Let’s practice:

9. Work time: Finish Temperature Control Variation station lab
