Interact with your notes
• 1.Explain the concept of “Albedo”
• OR
• 2. Gives me two examples of processes that occur in the air
![Page 5: Chapter 4 Global Climates and Biomes. Thank you AshEl!!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649f305503460f94c4b989/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Weather and Climate •Weather- short term conditions of the atmosphere in a local area. Includes: temperature, humidity, clouds, precipitation, wind speed and atmospheric pressure.
•Climate- average weather that occurs in a given region over a long period- typically several decades.
![Page 6: Chapter 4 Global Climates and Biomes. Thank you AshEl!!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649f305503460f94c4b989/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Evidence for changes in climate
• Tree rings• Fossilized plants• Insect and pollen samples• Gas bubbles in glaciers• Deep ice core samples• Lake sediments• Dust analysis• Isotope ratios in fossilized remains

The point is

What affects an areas climate?
• LAWT-O!LAWT-O!
• Latitude (distance from the equator)
• Altitude (height above sea level)
• Winds
• Topography (shape and location of land)
• Ocean Currents

Goal #1Earth's Atmosphere
• What are they?• What are their characteristics?• Explain reasoning behind their
temperature change.

Goal #2 Unequal Heating of Earth
• The variation in angle at which the Sun's rays strike
• Some areas of Earth reflect more solar energy than others. (Albedo)

Goal #3Wind and Convection
Currents•Air moves! • Why?• How does this affect
regional climate?
![Page 12: Chapter 4 Global Climates and Biomes. Thank you AshEl!!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649f305503460f94c4b989/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Earth's Rotation and the Coriolis Effect
• As Earth rotates, its surface moves much faster at the equator than in mid-latitude and polar regions.
•

Goal #3 continued…Global Winds!!
• Coriolis Effect- the deflection of an object's path due to Earth's rotation.
• The prevailing winds of the world are produced by a combination of atmospheric convection currents and the Coriolis effect.

Review your handouts
• Examples – explain convection and high low pressure
• The type of climate associated with high low climate
• Study global wind diagram
• Study layers of atmosphere diagram
