1. Describe and explain the patterns on figure 9.49,any anomolies to the general pattern.

2. Objectives Students should know how hurricanes form Students should recognise pressure gradients, lapse rates and Coriolis force and their role in hurricane formation Students should understand how hurricane impact can vary over time and space.

3. Hurricanes 1.Video on hurricane formation 2.Read page 235 and 236 3.Produce a flow chart on how hurricanes form. Include information on latent heat, lapse rates, instability, condensation, pressure gradient etc.

5. Demonstrate understanding Describe how weather conditions would change in Florida from the start to the end of a hurricane, using the chart on page 236. One of you will read out your passage on how the weather in a hurricane. How would this vary over time and space?
