Name:___________________________________ Bell:____________ Date:________ Weather Guided Notes Weather Guided Notes What is _____________________ and what causes it? _________________ from the sun does not heat Earth equally in all places at all times. Convection: the process by which air, or other matter, rises or sinks because of differences in temperature. Convection occurs when gases or liquids are heated_____________. The cycle continues Heated air rises…. WHY? This causes cooler air to sink…WHY? The creation of winds… Because warm air is ____________ __________than cool air is, warm air exerts________ pressure than the same volume of cooler air does. So, the atmospheric pressure is lower _____________ a mass of warm air. As__________, ________ air moves into a low-pressure region, the less dense, _________air is pushed upward. These pressure differences, which are the result of unequal heating that causes convection,__________________! DRAW A PICTURE HERE Red is warm and less dense blue is cool and more dense Name:___________________________________ Bell:____________ Date:________ Weather Guided Notes Remember… Air moves from _________________regions to low-pressure regions. High-pressure regions form where cold air ________toward Earth’s surface. Low-pressure regions form where warm air rises ________from Earth’s surface. Coriolis Effect The tendency of a moving object to follow a __________ path rather than a straight path because of the rotation of Earth. Winds curve as a result of the_______________ _____________. The CE deflects moving objects along a path that depends on the ____________, ____________ and _________of the object. Defected to __________ in NH and ________in SH The faster an object travels, the ____________ the Coriolis effect on that object is. Clouds Collections of small water droplets or ice crystals that fall slowly through the air. Fog is actually a cloud that forms near or on Earth’s surface. Classification: o _______________ o Cumulus clouds o _______________ o Stratus Clouds _____________________________ Name:___________________________________ Bell:____________ Date:________ Weather Guided Notes Have a flat, uniform base and begins to form at very__________ _______. Form where a layer of warm, moist air lies above a layer of cool air. Draw one here Cumulus Clouds Low-altitude, billowy clouds that have a top that resembles _______________ __________and a dark bottom. Look fluffy Form when ____________, moist air rises and cools as the cooling air reaches its dew point, the clouds form. Draw one here Cirrus Clouds Feathery clouds that are composed of ice crystals and that have the __________ ____________of any cloud in the sky. Cirro- and cirrus mean ____________ Form at altitudes above 6,000 meters. Weather Disasters-Hurricanes Draw one here Name:___________________________________ Bell:____________ Date:________ Weather Guided Notes Weather Forecasting The weather used to be attributed to Gods. Weather observers measure precipitation, _____________and humidity. They note the type, amount and ____________of cloud cover. Data collected is transferred onto weather maps. Symbols and ___________are used on maps and understood by meteorologists around the world. Weather Forecasting Common symbols describe cloud cover, wind speed, wind direction and ____________ ________________ such as precipitation and storm activity. Isotherms – lines that connect points of equal temperature ___________- lines that connect points of equal atmospheric pressure. _______________ spaced isobars indicate a rapid change in speed and direction of wind. Isobars that form circles indicate centers of high or low pressure. Name:___________________________________ Bell:____________ Date:________ Weather Guided Notes
