  1. Warmup: Get ready for the quiz

  2. LAME-COW Climate and Vegetation

  3. A Measure of Temperature and Precipitation over time. What is Climate?

  4. On the front: • Write L, A, M, E --- C, O, W vertically on the front • Write the following words beside the corresponding letter. • L – Latitude • A – Altitude • M – Mountain Barriers • E – Earth-Sun Relationship • C – Continental Location • O – Ocean Currents • W – Wind Foldable

  5. Measures North-South of Equator • Biggest effect on climate • Equator=Direct Rays=HOT! • Poles=Very Indirect Rays=COLD! Latitude

  6. Increase in height = Decrease in temperature • 1000 ft = 3.6oF Altitude Cold Cool War Hot

  7. Rain Shadow Effect • Mountains block wind and rain Mountain Barriers

  8. Effects the temperatures and seasons Earth-Sun Relationship

  9. Oceans are solar collectors • Water heats and cools more slowly than land • Coastline has a stable temperature • Interior of continent has extreme temperatures Continental Location

  10. Surface Currents caused by spinning of Earth & Wind • Flow in circular paths • Warm currents carry water from low high lats • Cool currents return cool water from high low lats Ocean Currents

  11. Movements of air pressure from high pressure to low pressure • Trade Winds=blow east around equator (Low Lats) • Westerlies=blow west (Mid Lats) • Polar Winds=push cold air toward mid-latitudes Wind
