Good morning! BELL Work (5 min.)1. Tell your neighbor something

nice that you did for your mother this weekend.

2. Take out your Unit 14 Study guide.

3. Use the next 5 minutes to complete and compare your answers with your neighbor.

4. Get your FUSION book.

OBJECTIVES & LEARNING GOALS:METEOROLOGISTS CAN:

• Review study guide to prepare for tomorrow’s Unit test.

• Practice questions for tomorrow’s Unit test.

Level 4

I can evaluate how weather models use current atmospheric conditions to predict the weather and analyze climate data to take a stance on the possibility of climate change.

Level 3

I can describe how global patterns such as the jet stream and ocean currents influence local weather AND clearly differentiate between weather and climate.

Level 2

I can describe how ocean currents and winds move around the Earth, list factors that influence weather formation, and summarize examples of weather and climate data.

Level 1

With help I can explain some factors that influence weather and the difference between weather and climate.

Thermosphere Blocks out high energy radiation from Sun

Mesosphere Burns up meteoroids to form meteors

StratosphereContains Ozone layer

Troposphere Contains all clouds, weather

Carbon dioxide blocks the Sun’s energy and re-radiates it back to Earth to keep our temperatures warm.

Air pressure decreases with altitude

By direct contact

Touching a metal burnerTransfer by

movement of liquid or gas

Rising warm airBoiling water

Electromagnetic waves

Sun heating the Earth

Weather is the conditions of the atmosphere at a specific time and climate is a pattern of weather over the long term.

Mid latitudes – moderate temps (50-80) High latitudes – bitter coldClose to equator – very warm year round

Rising temperatures can lead to more evaporation that eventually turns to precipitation

Once humidity reaches a certain point (100%) then precipitation is likely going to occur soon after.

Uneven heating of the Earth (because of its curved surface) causes areas of high and low pressure. Wind is the movement of this air from high to low pressure.

The climate of the city close to the water would have a smaller range of temperatures because water resists large changes in temperature. It has a high heat capacity.
