  1. Thursday 10-24-13 -WU: What does COLEMAP stand for? -Grade Climate & Weather Worksheet -3 points per question (If you missed it, but tried it and fixed it, take only 2 points off.) -Review Activity (Test Tomorrow)

  2. COLEMAP • Continentality • Ocean Currents • Latitude • Elevation • Mountain Barriers • Air Masses & Fronts • Pressure & Wind • The 7 factors that shape weather and climate!

  3. Fix Air Masses & Fronts Section

  4. Climate • Does the graph for Death valley represent climate or weather? 2. The high for Death valley in July was 85o while it rained all day. Is this an example of climate or weather? Weather

  5. 2.2 inches 3. What is the average rain fall in Hawaii for October? 4. What is the average high temperature for August? 5. What is the average low temperature for January? 89o F 65o F

  6. Death Valley 6. Based on the 2 climate graphs which location is continental? Give evidence to support your reason. Big Difference in Temperatures between summer & Winter

  7. Columbus, OH 7. Which city has a higher latitude? Atlanta, Georgia or Columbus, Ohio? 8. What do you know about the 2 climates just based on latitude. Ohio is Colder in the winter because it receives less direct sunlight.

  8. Maritime Polar Air masses • According to the Air masses section in your foldable, what type of air mass does Salem, Oregon get? • What two weather conditions are associated with this type of air mass? Humid and cool

  9. Continental Tropic Air masses 11. According to the Air masses section in your foldable, what type of air mass does New Mexico get? 12. What two weather conditions are associated with this type of air mass? Dry and warm

  10. From the west to the East • What direction does the wind blow at mid-latitudes? • What is the name of these winds? • What wind was used by ships to get to transport goods from Europe to the Americas? Westerlies Trade Winds

  11. A 16. Compare points A & B on the map. During the winter which one has : - a lower angle of incoming sunlight? -Sunlight spread out over a larger area. -Sunlight is more direct A B

  12. 17. On the diagram: -Label where air rises and falls -Label high and low pressure areas -Draw arrows to show direction of the breeze -What kind of breeze is this? Sea Breeze Air Sinks 70 0 F High pressure Air Rises Low pressure 85 0 F

  13. 18. If the air pressure on top of Pikes Peak were 90kPa, the temperature was 40o F, and the humidity were 5%. What would happen as you hiked down the mountain to the : -Air pressure -Temperature -Humidity Increase Increase Increase

  14. 19. According to this picture what will the climate be like at Arnold’s house and Mrs. Rauch’s house? Explain why. • Who lives on the windward, leeward, & Rain Shadow side? Leeward/ Rainshadow Windward Latitude = 35o N Desert Like climate (Dry with little to no plants) Wet & lots of vegetation

  15. SATELLITE PICTURE OF AIR MASSES USING INFRARED IMAGING 21. What season is it in the northern hemisphere? -How can you tell? 22. In general, which way does the wind blow? (N,S,E,W) -What about this map explains this?

  16. 23. What kind of weather is associated with each type of front? Warm (Drizzly rain  clear & warm weather) Stationary (Long lasting Drizzly rain.) 1 3 Occluded (cool & h precipitation.) 2 5 4 Cold (Story weather followed by clear & cool weather) Cold (Story weather followed by clear & cool weather)

  17. 24. What system is found at each number & what kind of weather is associated for it Low Pressure = cloudy & maybe precipitation. 2 1 High pressure system = Clear & Sunny

  18. Occluded Front Cold Front 25. Identify the 4 types of fronts and the weather associated with it. Warm Front Stationary Front
