Figure 6-1 Page 101 Slide 1 Cool air mass Warm air mass Anvil top Warm air mass Cool air mass Figure 6-2 Page 102 Slide 2 Descending cool air Severe thunderstorm Tornado forms when cool downdraft and warm updraft of air meet and interact Rising warm air Severe thunderstorms can trigger a number of smaller tornadoes Rising updraft of air Figure 6-3 Page 103 Slide 3 Rising winds exit from the storm at high altitudes. The calm central eye usually is about 24 kilometers (15 miles) wide. Gales circle the eye at speeds of up to 320 kilometers (200 miles) per hour. Moist surface winds spiral in towards the center of the storm Figure 6-4 Page 104 Slide 4 © 2004 Brooks/Cole – Thomson Learning Climate is the average weather patterns for an area over a long period of time (30 - 1,000,000 years). It is determined by Average Precipitation and Average Temperature which are influenced by latitude altitude ocean currents and affects where people live how people live what they grow and eat Figure 6-6 Page 105 Slide 5 Polar (ice) Warm temperate Highland Subarctic (snow) Dry Major upwelling zones Cool temperate Tropical Warm ocean current Cold ocean current River Figure 6-6 Page 106 Slide 6 Ocean currents and climate animation.

(b) The earth's surface absorbs much of the incoming solar radiation and degrades it to longer-wavelength infrared (IR) radiation, which rises into the lower atmosphere. Some of this IR radiation escapes into space as heat and some is absorbed by molecules of greenhouse gases and emitted as even longer wavelength IR radiation, which warms the lower atmosphere. (c) As concentrations of greenhouse gases rise, their molecules absorb and emit more infrared radiation, which adds more heat to the lower atmosphere.

On the windward side of a mountain range, air rises, cools, and releases moisture. On the leeward side of the mountain range, air descends, warms, and releases little moisture.
