Period 1 created a foldable to organize their notes on short term climate cycles (chapter 6, lesson 2), period 2 finished the lesson on factors influencing climate and passed in the lesson review (chapter 6, lesson 1), and period 4 is still working on the activity on geographical factors that influence climate (chapter 6, lesson 1).
The chapter 6 test will be next Monday, May 11 and will include all 3 lessons for period 1, and only lessons 1 and 2 for period 4.
Study Skills: Period 1 - Complete the questions below:
Directions: Complete the paragraph by choosing word bank terms and writing them in the correct spaces.
cold
dry
El Niño
pressure
warm
weaken
wet
During El Niño, trade winds (1.) and
(2.) water moves toward South America. This prevents
(3.) water from upwelling and increasing the air pressure
above it. As a result, the normal pattern of high and low (4.)
across the Pacific is reversed. During El Niño, the climate of the western coast of South
America is (5.) and warm instead of
(6.) and cool.
Directions: Answer each question or respond to each statement on the lines provided.
7. Define El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
8. What is a monsoon, and what causes it?
9. What are a drought, a heat wave, and a cold wave?
Study Skills, period 2: Answer the following questions:
1. Climate is the long-term average conditions that occur in
a particular region.
2. The amount of per unit of Earth’s surface is related to
latitude.
3. A tall mountain has a cold, snowy climate because of its .
4. An area of low rainfall on the downward slope of a mountain is called
a(n) .
5. The amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a material
by 1°C is the material’s .
6. The climates along coastlines remain more constant than those in the middle of a
continent because water has a high .
7. The Gulf Stream is a warm that modifies climate.
8. A microclimate is a(n) climate that is different from the
climate of the larger area surrounding it.
9. Climate is classified based on , temperature, and native
vegetation.
