  1. Continentality • In this lesson you will: • 2.5.1 Define the term temperature range. (k) • 2.5.2 Analyze the relationship between range in temperature and distance from theocean. (a) • 2.5.5 Describe the relationship between seasonal level of precipitation and distance from the ocean. (k)

  2. Continentality • Defining Temperature Range • Temperature range: the difference between the highest and the lowest average monthly temperatures of a region. • Large or high temperature range: extremes of temperature, hot summer cold winter. • Small or low temperature range: moderated temperature, warm summer, cool winter

  3. Continental vs. Maritime Climates • As distance from the ocean increases, annual temperature range increases. • Continental climates experience greater extremes of temperature than coastal climates at the same latitude

  4. Continental • The plains region of Saskatchewan, for example, experience a continental climate. • The winter temperatures are very cold. • The summer temperatures are fairly hot. • It is interesting to note that summer temperatures in Central Labrador are often higher than summer temperatures in the island portion of the province.

  5. Maritime Climates • Coastal Newfoundland would experience a Maritime climate. • The winter temperatures would be very mild. • The summer temperatures would be warm but not hot.

  6. Climate Graphs • The left scale indicates the temperature and it is graphed as a line. • The right scale is for precipitation and is graphed as a bar graph.

  7. Monsoons • In this lesson you will learn to... • 2.5.3 Define the term monsoon. (k) • 2.5.4 Explain why winter and summer monsoons occur. (k)

  8. Monsoons • From Arabic for 'seasonal wind'; a sudden wet season in the tropics.

  9. India’s Winter Monsoon • Continental Asia cools & high atmospheric pressure results; • wind blows southward towards the low over Indian ocean; • very little rain or dry season results because the wind is blowing over dry land and does not pick up water

  10. India’s Summer monsoon • Continental Asia heats up & low atmospheric pressure results; • Wind blows northward towards the low over India; • Tremendous rains result because the wind is blowing over the warm Indian Ocean. • VIEW DIAGRAM

  11. Continentality Lab • By this time you should have a fairly good idea how continentality affects climate and weather. You also know how oceans, latitude and wind affect weather and climate. • Do ACTIVITY
