Tuesday, 10/7/2014In Class:1. Prepare to take CN

1. OBJ: SWBAT explain how the Coriolis Effect is one of the factors that drives atmospheric circulation.

2. Topic: Atmospheric Circulation

2. Take Cornell Notes3. Key topics with each short video… make sure

to take notes! (skeleton provided on slides to follow)

Homework: 4. Create Questions and summary for your

cornell notes.

Earth Information(I’m presenting using globe)

• Draw a 2” circle representing Earth• Draw a line ½ way through representing the

equator (0degrees latitude)• Rotation =• Revolution =• Hemispheres… North and South• As I model with the globe, take additional

notes

Global Atmospheric Circulationhttp://youtu.be/Ye45DGkqUkE

Take notes on key ideas (do NOT write these on the left hand side of CN – that area is for your questions.

• Energy source driving the winds = • Type of heat transfer “driving” the winds = , warmer air rises

and cooler air sinks• __________ Effect is the reason the winds bend toward the equator.• Trade winds…. (take notes from video & I will help fill in details)• Which way do Westerlies blow? From _________ to ___________

Coriolis Effect: http://youtu.be/i2mec3vgeaI

Take notes on key ideas (do NOT write these on the left hand side of CN – that area is for your questions)

• Northern Hemispheres spin _______________, and Southern Hemisphere storms spin ___________________ because of the ____________________________. Illustrate:

• Coriolis Effect =

Why?

• Which state is spinning faster than the other? Texas or Nebraska Why?

• What does this mean for you if you want to be a pilot or fly in a plane?

Please open your book to p484

Reading, taking notes on 6 paragraphs between 484-486… you will need the three colored pencils.
