Name: ________________________________________ Date: ________________ #: _____ Chapter 11: Weather and the Water Cycle Lesson 1: Essential Questions P. 403 Lesson 1: What Causes Weather? You learned that an atmosphere made up of layers surrounds Earth. Not all energy from the sun reaches the Earth’s surface. The energy is enough to cause different temperatures in different places, producing local and global winds. 1. Focus Skill: Main Idea & Details: Draw and complete a graphic organizer with supporting details for this main idea: The atmosphere has several layers of air. 2. Summarize: Write a paragraph describing how the sun influences winds on Earth. __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.

Test Prep: Which of the following is the most common gas in the troposphere? A. carbon dioxide C. oxygen B. nitrogen D. water vapor EXTRA: Make Connections: Writing: Expository Writing: Suppose you’re on vacation. Write a postcard describing the weather to a friend. Include temperature, wind speed, and wind direction. Math: Solve Problems: About 20 percent of the sun’s energy that reaches the air is reflected back into space. Another 25 percent is absorbed or reflected by the clouds. What percent of the sun’s energy reaches Earth’s surface. Health: Sunscreen: Research how the sun affects human skin. Then make a brochure that explains how people can keep their skin healthy and why they should use sunscreen.
