Write this down on your guided notes! • LEQ #3 How do variations in air pressure cause different weather patterns to occur?
Quick Review! • Air Pressure – The weight of the earth’s atmosphere pushing down on everything around it. Atmosphere Earth
Quick Review – Chemical Composition of the Atmosphere • 78% Nitrogen • 21% Oxygen • 1% Argon & Carbon Dioxide
Quick Review • Weather occurs in the TROPOSPHERE.
So what is all this pressure business? • Soda can demonstration
Conclusion WHY did this happen? • Water inside the can was heated, turned to water vapor (gas.) All of the pressure was forced out of the can. • The pressure OUTSIDE the can was greater than the pressure INSIDE the can, causing it to implode.
Guided Notes - Pressure & Weather • Air molecules are in constant motion and are affected by gravity. The force of this motion causes air pressure.
Guided Notes - Pressure & Weather • High Pressure: Clear and dry conditions, usually sunny.
Guided Notes - Pressure & Weather • Low Pressure: Causes storms, hurricanes and tornados.
Think, Pair, Share • What type of weather system is over Charlotte today?
Guided Notes - Pressure & Weather • When temperatures are HIGH, air pressure is usually LOW. Warm air is usually LESS dense than cool air.
