Heritage Research Project
The heritage research project is meant to evaluate you understanding of climate and weather
and how they are affected. You will research a county that you family as came from and look up
factors that will influence that county’s weather. In your research you must determine if a
current effect the climate and how. Also tell what global wind drives the current and explain
why this occurs. You must then look up how to geography effects the climate looking at the
latitude and elevation. To complete the project, you must print out a map of the county you
choose and draw the way the current is deflected. You must also include addition factors other
than, current, elevation and latitude that effect the weather in the country you research. Lastly
you must identify and draw what kind of local breeze your country expenses.
