  1. Monday 11-4-13 • Fill out planner for the week • Check • Artificial Reefs • El Nino • Review part 2 • Review activity for tomorrows CBA!!!

  2. Which of the following is an El Niño weather pattern? Which picture has the normal upwelling that brings up the deep, nutrient rich water to the surface? 1 El Niño Winds blow east  instead of west Why does the surface current switch directions in an El Niño year? 2 Normal Upwelling

  3. Where do Hurricanes form? . Label the oceans of the world. E Over warm Atlantic water B D A C

  4. What type of pressure system forms a Hurricane? • Low Pressure When do Hurricanes form? • Summer & Fall Why do they occur then? • Atlantic Ocean is so warm that water evaporates very quickly • -Forming HUGE Clouds as it sucks water up while it slowly moves across from Africa to the United States

  5. Which terms best describe the air mass that forms a Hurricane? • Continental tropical • Continental polar • Maritime tropical • Maritime polar

  6. Why do hurricanes fall apart? • Move over colder water (not able to evaporate as fast) • Or • Move over land (no water to evaporate)

  7. What type of energy is responsible for the different temperatures on the Earth? • Radiant Energy from our SUN

  8. Does warm or cold air masses have more density? Which is warm & which is cold? • Cold ColdWarm Which will exert more air pressure, warm or cold air masses? Why? • Cold • Denser – more air molecules pushing outward

  9. The movement of air from one area to another is called __. • Wind What is the root cause of wind? • Differences in Air pressure caused by the • Uneven heating of the earth! • The sun heats the Equatorial regions more (due to direct sunlight) • The poles are colder (due to indirect sun)

  10. If cold air has more pressure than warm air, in general, what direction does air move on the earth? • From the poles (where it is cold/dense) towards the equator where it is warm.

  11. What type of Breeze is this? Sea Breeze. How do the temperatures at 1 and 7 compare? How do you know? Warmer at 1 - warm air is rises Colder at 7 - cold air is sinks. The rising of warm air and falling of cold air is a type of heat called _____________ Convection

  12. Identify all the fronts & weather associated with each. Warm Front– Drizzly Rain followed by warmer temps. Occluded Front– Large amounts of precipitation & cooler temperatures A D Atlantic City B San Francisco Colorado Springs Cold Front–Stormy weather followed by cooler weather Knoxville Dallas Stationary Front– Drizzly Rain that lasts for days C

  13. What type of weather is associated with Low & High Pressures? L H Atlantic City San Francisco Clear, Sunny Skies L Colorado Springs Knoxville H Cloudy & Humid Dallas L

  14. What type of weather can you expect at Dallas? L H Atlantic City San Francisco L Colorado Springs Knoxville H Dallas Thunderstorms L

  15. What type of weather can you expect in Colorado Springs? L H Atlantic City San Francisco Clear, Sunny Skies L Colorado Springs Knoxville H Dallas L

  16. Which weather System will warm air gradually rise over cold air and gently push the cold air away? L Warm Front– H Atlantic City San Francisco L Colorado Springs Knoxville H Dallas L

  17. Which weather System will cold air move in under the warm air and quickly push the warm air up into the air? L H Atlantic City San Francisco L Colorado Springs Knoxville H Dallas Cold Front– L

  18. What keeps San Francisco’s Climate Cool & Dry? A Cold Surface Current Atlantic City San Francisco Colorado Springs Knoxville

  19. Why does Atlantic City stay warm and have so much humidity? Atlantic City San Francisco Warm Gulf Stream Surface Current Colorado Springs Knoxville

  20. Between San Francisco, Dallas, & Atlantic City which city will have: -The biggest temperature differences. Why? -The coolest summers? Why? -The warmest winters? Why? Warmest Winters – Atlantic City – On Warm Current Cool Summers = San Francisco – On Cold Current Atlantic City San Francisco Big temp Differences =Dallas – Continental Climate Dallas
