Catalyst: Describe how air pressure, the Coriolis Effect, and friction affect wind. How does wind relate to weather?

Warm-up 11/25: 10 minutesA). Finish pen pal letter. Hand into black box when done.

B). Outline 19.1 and 19.2 when completed. Hand into black box when done.Warm-up 12/1Write the questions and answer in complete sentences. Use your memory! You may discuss answers with a classmate, but answer on your own sheet of paper! This warm-up is just to see what you remember. Try your best!What is air pressure?How is wind created? Where does wind move?What is the Coriolis effect and how does wind move in the Northern hemisphere?What are isobars?You have 10 minutes! Pass your warm-up to the left when completed. If you are the person furthest to the left of your table, collect all warm-ups at your table and hand them in the black box.AgendaWarm-up (~15)Notes (~15)Bill Nye Video (~25)Outline 19.1 and 19.2 (independent work, rest of class)Objective: Explain how air masses move based on pressure differentials.

Expected Exam Date: December 10th or 11th Low PressureCyclones are areas of low pressure.As you move toward the center of a cyclone, the pressure decreases.Wind in a low pressure system moves counterclockwise.All of this produces lots of clouds and precipitation.

High PressureAnticyclones are high pressure systemsAs you move toward the center of an anticyclone, the pressure increases. Wind moves clockwiseWeather is clear and fair.

We know the Earth is hotter at the Equator and colder at the Poles.But! Some winds move heat from the Equator to the Poles.Other winds move cold air from the Poles to the Equator.

Trade Winds move from East to West along the Equator.

Westerlies move wind from West to East.These are the prevailing winds in the United Statesfor the most part, in this country, wind moves in this direction.Somost weather here moves from West to East!
