1. Oceans, Weather, Convection… Heat transfer rap

2. Edusmart Convection Review Before that… divide your paper in half, and make a vocabulary model like the one below. Convection

3. On the other half we will draw the water cycle

4. What does a convection current look like? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUv4Cid3 OnE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUv4Cid3 OnE Could you see the convection pattern? Why did the “lava” fall? Why did the “lava” rise?

6. Spin the earth on its axis and you get air that moves like this…

7. Moving air = weather Weather is influenced by the amount of water in the air. Where is this water? Therefore= weather is influenced by the moving air and the oceans.

8. Climate for Konya Turkey Bounded by land, no ocean close to it

9. Same Latitude: Lisbon, Portugal Bounded by ocean and the Canary Current

10. Climate for Pretoria, South Africa Bounded by land in southern hemisphere

11. Same Latitude: Climate for Tolanaro, Madagascar Bounded by ocean and the warm Mozambique current

12. Air Currents and Oceans create… hurricane animations
