Good morning!
BELL Work (5 min.)
1. Tell your neighbor something nice that
you did for your mother this weekend.
2. Take out your Unit 14 Study guide.
3. Use the next 5 minutes to complete and
compare your answers with your
neighbor.
4. Get your FUSION book.
OBJECTIVES & LEARNING GOALS:
METEOROLOGISTS CAN:
• Review study guide to prepare for tomorrow’s
Unit test.
• Practice questions for tomorrow’s Unit test.
Level 4 I can evaluate how weather models use current atmospheric
conditions to predict the weather and analyze climate data to take a
stance on the possibility of climate change.
Level 3 I can describe how global patterns such as the jet stream and ocean
currents influence local weather AND clearly differentiate between
weather and climate.
Level 2 I can describe how ocean currents and winds move around the Earth,
list factors that influence weather formation, and summarize
examples of weather and climate data.
Level 1 With help I can explain some factors that influence weather and the
difference between weather and climate.
Thermosphere
Mesosphere
Blocks out high energy
radiation from Sun
Burns up meteoroids to
form meteors
Stratosphere
Contains Ozone layer
Troposphere
Contains all clouds,

Carbon dioxide blocks the Sun’s energy
and re-radiates it back to Earth to keep
our temperatures warm.

Rising temperatures can lead to more
evaporation that eventually turns to
precipitation
Once humidity reaches a certain point
(100%) then precipitation is likely going
to occur soon after.
Uneven heating of the Earth (because of its
curved surface) causes areas of high and low
Weather is the conditions of the
atmosphere at a specific time and climate is pressure. Wind is the movement of this air
from high to low pressure.
a pattern of weather over the long term.
Mid latitudes – moderate
temps (50-80)
High latitudes – bitter cold
Close to equator – very
warm year round
The climate of the city close to the
water would have a smaller range of
temperatures because water resists
large changes in temperature. It has a
high heat capacity.
