Knowledge Check
Questions page A 54
3) Why do some winds change direction in areas where land is near water?
6) Suppose that a city is located in a valley between the sea and a mountain range. What kind of wind pattern would you predict for this area?
How did you do?
Answers to questions:
3) Land and water heat up and cool down at different rates. These differences cause daily or seasonal changes in air pressure, leading to changes in wind direction.
6) During the day, air would blow from the sea into the city and out of the city up the mountain slopes. At night, the pattern would reverse.
Summarizing
Read the pages about wind patterns. Summarize each section by writing at least 4 key points in bullet format in your own words (don’t copy word-for-word from textbook.) Pages A 47-48 & 53 Section 2.2 The Atmosphere has wind patterns.• Uneven heating causes air to move.• Patterns of heating and cooling cause
local winds• Local winds
McDougall Text p. A53
Summarizing
Read the pages about the water cycle and precipitation. Summarize each section by writing at least 4 key points in bullet format in your own words (don’t copy word-for-word from textbook.) Pages A 56-59 Section 2.3 Most clouds form as air rises and cools.• Temperature affects water in the air.• Water in the Air• Humiditiy (only summarize the 1st
paragragh)• Water vapor condenses and forms
clouds.
McDougall Text p. A59
Warm air rises and cools. Water vapor condenses into droplets or or ice crystals.Cloud formation occurs.McDougall p. A59
