  1. 10/16/1337th Day of School Learning goal (7.E.1.5): I will be able to explain the relationship of air masses, fronts, pressure systems, storms and winds on weather conditions. Due Today: Wind Foldable, Flashcards, Sandy vs. Joplin chart, Tornado vs. Hurricane Poster & Most Destructive Storm Paragraph Evening Assignment: Study for Test tomorrow

  2. In your science notebook answer the following questions: • Which winds have a strong influence on the weather in North Carolina? • Which winter storm is the most common in North Carolina? McDougall Textbook p. A52 Do Now

  3. In your science notebook write and answer the following questions: • Which winds have a strong influence on the weather in North Carolina?sea/land breeze & mountain/valley breeze, jet stream, westerlies, trade wind • Which winter storm is common in North Carolina? ice storm McDougall Textbook p. A52 Do Now

  4. In your science notebook complete the review chart given to you. DO NOT WRITE ON THE COPY! • DO NOT USE YOUR NOTES, TEXTBOOK, OR THE INTERNET. • If you can complete the chart from memory or acquired learning you will do well on the test tomorrow! • If you are having difficulty you will know what you need to review in order to learn the content. STUDY! STUDY! Test Review

  5. Wind and Weather • The atmosphere has wind patterns. • Uneven heating causes air to move through pressure differences (high -> low pressure) • Earth’s rotation affects wind direction. • There are three belts of global wind: trade winds, the westerlies, and the easterlies. • Jet streams flow near the top of the troposphere. McDougall p. A48 ESSENTIAL FACTS

  6. Wind and Weather • The atmosphere has wind patterns. • Uneven heating causes air to move through pressure differences • Earth’s rotation affects wind direction (Coriolis Effect) • There are three belts of global wind: trade winds, the westerlies, and the easterlies. • Jet streams flow near the top of the troposphere. McDougall p. A49 ESSENTIAL FACTS

  7. Wind and Weather • The atmosphere has wind patterns. • Uneven heating causes air to move through pressure differences. • Earth’s rotation affects wind direction (Coriolis Effect). • There are three belts of global wind: trade winds, the westerlies, and the easterlies. • Jet streams flow West -> East near the top of the troposphere. ESSENTIAL FACTS McDougall p. A51

  8.

McDougall p. A52 ESSENTIAL FACTS

  9. Investigate Coriolis Effect • Read the investigation on page A49. • Write the “What Do You Think? And the “Challenge” questions in your notebook. • You will need one partner. • Investigation materials are near the bulletin board. • Be sure you have read the procedure before you come to the table!
