1. Homeroom READ!

2. Warm-up  Make a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting Low Pressure Systems and High Pressure Systems

3. Hurricanes!  Develop in warm tropical regions.  Water is at least 80 degrees  Require moist warm air and equatorial winds

4. Hurricanes!  Many begin as a cluster of thunderstorms.  They release latent heat which causes the pressure to drop and winds to get stronger!

5. Lifecycle of a hurricane  1.Tropical depression: wind speeds of less than 38 mph  2.Tropical storm: wind speeds of 39 to 73 mph  3.Hurricane: wind speeds greater than 74 mph
