Climate Part Deux

Ocean Currents
Currents are moving streams of water in the earth’s oceans.
*Ocean currents are continuously moving in a similar way as winds. Can you guess how they move?

Ocean Currents
* Warm currents move along the equator or from the equator to the poles.
* Cold currents carry cold polar water towards the equator.

Local Winds
• Patterns of wind caused by landforms in a particular area

Sea and Land Breezes
• Land warms and cools quicker than water
Land = Water =

Mountains
![Page 11: Climate Part 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554f9504b4c905ad218b4580/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Coastal Mountains
• Windward side - moist and often foggy with thick, green vegetation
• Leeward side - dry area facing away from the wind– Rain Shadow

Ex. Sierra Nevada and The Great Basin

The Impact of People on Climate
• Cities are warmer than in rural areas
• Why?
![Page 14: Climate Part 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554f9504b4c905ad218b4580/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Impact of People on Climate
• City streets and buildings absorb more of the sun’s rays than do the plants and trees of rural areas.
• People burn fossil fuels for heat, to power industry and move cars

The Greenhouse Effect
• Buildup of certain gases in the atmosphere that, like a greenhouse, hold more of the sun’s warmth

Impact of People - Rain forests
• Rain forests - dense forests near the equator that receive high amounts of rain
![Page 18: Climate Part 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554f9504b4c905ad218b4580/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Impact of People - Rain forests
• Some people want to clear the forests to sell the lumber or use the land for farming

What is a result of
deforestation?
![Page 21: Climate Part 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554f9504b4c905ad218b4580/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Impact of People - Deforestation
• Burning of trees releases harmful gases
• If trees are cut, less water will evaporate (transpiration), which means less rainfall.
