3. Factors that affect an area’s climate? LAWT-O! LAWT-O!

5. 3. temp of water 4. sinking/floating 5. Temperature 6. Salinity 7. Flow of ocean water caused by changes in density(temp and salt).Occurs at poles and equator 8. Both driven by density & temp differences. One in ocean other in atmosphere. 9. Moderates global climate as well as local climate. 10. Wind

6. Description of Climate Average temperature Average precipitation

8. decreases glaciers deserts coolermilder As air rises it expands and cools. This is called adiabatic cooling O ⁰, 60⁰ Unequal heating (of the earth’s surface) Cloudy and stormy Clear and sunny

9. Mesosphere Stratosphere (and Thermosphere) Mesosphere Thermosphere Stratosphere Troposphere Exosphere (Thermosphere) Troposphere

10. Rain shadow effect – as air rise up over the mountain the air will cool, form clouds and rain (on city H). By the time the air makes it to the other side of the mountain, it is dry and will produce no precipitation Hot / Sub humid Hot / Arid Cold/ Arid Cold/ Semi arid Temperate/ Semi arid Cold/ Semi arid Temperate/ Semi arid

11. Biomes The world’s regions that have been classified by its climate (temperature and precipitation) as well as its plant growth

12. climograph a graphical representation of basic climatic at a certain location. valuable tool in studying climate used to infer connections between climate and human conditions You will learn to read, analyze, and practice matching climographs to locations on earth

15. HOT COLD

16. Surface current vs. density curent

18. Check in 1.Why does the position of the Farallon Islands make them such a magnet for marine life? How does the upwelling of the Gulf of the Farallones affect life in and around the islands? 2.How have humans impacted animal populations on the islands throughout history? 3.What alarming changes have researchers seen in and around the Farallon Islands in recent years? What positive changes do they see?
