Year 7 Geog – Skills No. 12The Lennaville Endurance Horse Race has to go around a group of lakes and a pit, so jockeys are given a map before the day of the big race.Unfortunately, the race organisers ran out of ink before they could finish the maps and only marked in the lakes, the pit and the start.On the map below, using the instructions given to the jockeys, mark in the race course. The map's scale is 1 cm represents 1 km and you are required to draw a linear representation of this on your map. Make sure to include a suitable heading to your map too.Instructions to the jockeys1 Go 3 km south2 Then 1 km south east3 Then 3 km south4 Then 2.5 km south west5 Then 6 km due west6 Then 2.5 km north west7 Then 6 km north8 Then 6 km east9Then 4 km due north10Then 4.5 km north east11Then 3.5 km south east12Then 4.5 km south13Then 2 km south west14Then 1 km west15 Then 3 km north

Year 7 Geog – Skills No. 13. WHAT ARE SYNOPTIC CHARTS? These are the weather maps that you see on television and in the newspaper. WHAT ARE ISOBARS? Isobars are the lines on weather maps. They join areas of equal air pressure. Numbers higher than 1013 hectopascals on an isobar indicate high air pressure. Numbers lower than 1013 hectopascals indicate low air pressure. WHAT ARE LOWS AND HIGHS? Low Air Pressure System - Hot moist air rises. This leaves an area underneath the rising air where there is less air. This area has low air pressure. Low pressure systems indicate cloudy or rainy periods. High Air Pressure System – On the other hand, cool dry air sinks. This forms an area where is more air with high air pressure. High pressure systems indicate fine cool dry weather. HOW DO ISOBARS INDICATE WIND? If the isobars are quite close together on the weather map, wind will blow from the higher pressure area to the lower pressure area. The closer the isobars, the faster will be the wind. The further apart the isobars, the gentler will be the wind. www.qldscienceteachers.com WHAT SYMBOLS INDICATE CLOUDS OR RAIN? Low Pressure Area ( L ) – Lows indicate clouds or rain. Troughs ( - - - - - - ) – Troughs are elongated areas of low pressure where clouds or rain will probably occur. Cold Front ( ) – A cold front is an area where a mass of cold air moves very quickly underneath a mass of warm moist air. This causes the warm moist air to suddenly drop its rain. The result is a very sudden thunderstorm. Warm Front ( ) - A warm front occurs when a mass of warm moist air moves slowly over the top of a mass of cold air. The result is drizzling rain that may last a few days. Tropical Cyclone ( T.C. ) – In summer in tropical areas near the coast, a lot of hot moist air rises rapidly. This can cause an extremely low pressure system (less than 970 hectopascals) which can begin to spiral upwards. This ‘sucks’ up even more hot moist air to make rain clouds and winds that create fierce damaging storms.

QUESTIONS 1. In the table describe or draw symbols on weather maps that indicate a particular weather type:

Fine dry weather

Windy weather

Cloudy weather

Rainy weather

Cairns

Brisbane

Sydney

Melbourne

Adelaide

Perth

Cairns

Brisbane

Sydney

Melbourne

Adelaide

Perth

2. Look at the two weather maps below. For each map, write the type of weather expected in each city in the table below.

1.Suggest names for the three dotted lines,1, ________________________________2 ________________________________3. ________________________________

By giving both the latitude and longitude of your position you are able to give your exact location on the globe. Notice that it is usual to give the latitude first followed by the longitude.

2.Give the locations of the following places on fig. 1.A.Lat ____________ Long. ____________ B.Lat ____________ Long. ____________C.Lat ____________ Long. ____________D.Lat ____________ Long. ____________E.Lat ____________ Long. ____________FLat ____________ Long ____________

3. Drawing isobarsConnect the dots to show the pressure system

Year 7 Geog – Skills No. 14

Some Rules to follow when reading Weather Maps.1.Lines joining places of equal air pressure are called isobars. All isobars are numbered and they show areas of high or low pressure (cells). The unit of measurement is the hectopascal (hPa)2.High pressure is shown by high hPa numbers (say more than 1010 ), while low pressure Is shown by low hPa numbers (say below 1000 ).3.Winds blow clockwise around a low pressure cell and anti clockwise around a high pressure cell.4.Many dose isobars mean strong winds, few widely spacedisobars mean light winds.5.Winds tend to blow in the same direction as the isobars.6.Pressure cells in Australia tend to move in an east to south easterly direction. They usually move about 500 to 700 kms a day.7.An advancing mass of cold air is called a cold front.8.Air from the sea brings moisture. Air from inland is usually hot and dry.9.Mountain barriers cause air to rise and if it is moist then rain results.10.Mountain barriers stop moist winds from reaching inland.11.Northern areas are generally hotter than southern areas because of the effect of latitude. Inland areas have greater extremes of temperature.

Year 7 Geog – Skills No. 15Read te rules and answer the questions.1. Label all the isobars on the Map, e.g. "1008 ".2. On the Map, mark (a)a high pressure cell (H) (b)a low pressure cell (L).3.What was the wind speed and direction at(a) Kalgoorlie?(b) Townsville?(c) Darwin?(d) Perth?4.What is about to happen at Perth?________________________________________________________________________________________________5.What effect will this have on the wind direction there?____________________________________________________________________________________________6. Name two centres which are experiencing calm conditions(a)_____________________________________________

(b)______________________________________________7. Which town would have the hottest day and why?________________________________________________________________________________________________8.Which area of Australia is most likely to have rain?______________________________________________9.Would it be cloudy or nor at(a) Alice Springs?(b) Townsville?10. If the pressure cells continued to move in the normal way, what weather could Adelaide expect to have in the next two days?_______________________________________________________________________________________________Why?____________________________________________________________________________________________

Year 7 Geog – Skills 17Weather maps (synoptic charts) show isobars which are lines joining places with the same atmospheric pressure. Winds flow around these isobars, clockwise in the case of LOWS and anticlockwise in the case of HIGHS. Just as contour lines show areas of higher or lower landforms, isobars form areas of higher or lower pressure, called cells. The closer the isobars are together, the stronger are the winds, just as contours indicate relative steepness.MAP A:1. Find the atmospheric pressure at :¬-Melbourne __________ hPa Alice Springs_________hPaPort Hedland ________ hPa Townsvile ___________hPa2.Name the two features in the bottom comers of the map.____________________________________________3.Which centre is experiencing the strongest winds?centre________________strength ______________ kph4.
