Homework Due Thursday 11th September Produce a factfile of an interesting weather event. How did the event affect people? Email to drogers@patchamschool.org.uk 4. What is the difference between weather and climate? Aims To understand the difference between weather and climate. Keywords Weather Climate Atmosphere 4 November, 2014 5. Starter: What would be the challenges of living at -35oC? 6. PEEL:holdingitalltogether POINT EVIDENCE EXPLAIN LINK e.g. Earthquakes are mostly found along tectonic plate boundaries e.g. Such as along the western coast of the USA where the North American & Pacific plates meet e.g. This is because at tectonic plate boundaries, stress and friction builds up due to convergent & divergent movement e.g. Therefore you are more likely to find earthquakes when the stress builds too much, whereas in areas away from plate boundaries there are likely to be fewer earthquakes. - -> Increasingly complex answers - -> Use connectivesAdd theoryAdd evidence 7. Define 'weather' Write your own definition for weather. The state of the atmosphere at a given time and place, with respect to variables such as temperature, moisture, wind velocity, and barometric pressure. 8. Climate? The average weather over long periods of time 9. Climate is what we expect. Weather is what we get. 10. What are the factors affecting climate in the UK? 4 November, 2014 Starter: Why is Rogers so happy? 11. Weather or climate? 12. Where is the best place to be in the UK today? Give 2 reasons why. 13. Generally speaking, polar travel would be quite pleasant if one didnt have to breathe. Sir Ranulph Fiennes 14. We both began to accept that we would run out of food and fuel before we could make the pole. We had, by the end of April, broken all previous unsupported records by many miles. Some 89 miles from the North Pole, Mike recorded: Although the realisation had been slow to dawn, we both knew that the end was imminent. We had been in decline for weeks and only the perseverance of the other kept us going. Staggering across the endless sea ice, driven by a desperation not to give up so close to our goal, we were the embodiment of frailty. I was weakened by 450 miles of wading through knee-deep snow, following the breakage of my ski binding in the first week, and Ran was in great pain from a deep blister, turned ulcer, that was eroding his heel. For a couple of weeks he had also been losing his vision and now he was nearly blind. He stumbled after my vague outline, cursing as he tripped over every unseen obstacle. For the moment, however, all our problems were overshadowed by the pain in our near frozen fingers. This happened every morning as packing needed some dexterity. You simply couldnt do up straps wearing inner gloves and two pairs of mitts. Strangely, the fingers were now numb as well as painful. With sensation lost from the bloodless skin, the pain arose from joints and tendons within. Hands curled up inside the mitts felt totally alien, as if frozen sausages had been left in the glove. It would be half an hour before they thawed. Then they would burn fiercely as the blood returned, and new blisters would form where the tissues had turned to ice. . . . We felt close, linked by a camaraderie that had grown through the hardships we had endured, a feeling of unified suffering and achievement. Mike summarized our last day of travel: Ran was shaking me by the shoulder. He said, Mike, unless the wind has changed, you are off course, its blowing over my left shoulder. I checked the compass. Near South entirely the wrong direction. Stupid of me, just losing concentration. But why couldnt I see properly and why were my legs like jelly? Shorry, I wassh dray deaming. The words were slurred and inarticulate. Ran knew what it meant. He put down his pack and started unpacking the tent. As he said later, it was like the drunk leading the blind and he realised that it was far too dangerous to go on. I had been hypoglycaemic again. Now was the time to call for removal with the satellite beacon. Read this extract of an Arctic journey. Underline the effects on the two men. 15. What makes up weather and climate? 16. The most important weather forecast in history? 17. Climate maps 18. Describe the pattern sown on the map. Refer to map evidence in your answer (4) 2 x Point + Data Trends (connectives) Compass Directions Data and places In January, the average mean maximum temperature decreases as you move north. For example, temperatures are above 8oC in Cornwall whilst they are between 1 and 6oC in Scotland. The temperature doesnt go below 3oC in England, south of Birmingham In addition, the temperature is warmer around coastal areas. Finally, high land has a lower temperature than surrounding land. 19.

These are isobars, they denote equal points of pressure. They never cross. Join points of equal pressure carefully with a pencil. Mark and shade the area of highest and lowest pressure. Draw an arrow to show the direction of air flow. Name the airmass passing over the United Kingdom. Suggest the weather over the United Kingdom. 22. Low High Polar Maritime Cold and Wet Weather.
