A.Draw and label a diagram of leeward and windward. B.Looking at a diagram of leeward and windward, in which region or side of the mountain would you find the driest climate? C.Explain how the distance from water will impact the climate for a region (specific heat capacity of water). a.Review specific heat capacity from earlier in the year. It helps explain "distance from water". D. Explain how clouds and ice reflect sunlight (albedo). E.Explain how the Thermohaline Circulation transfers heat from the equator to the poles. F.How does a change in latitude impact temperature? In other words, explain how the curvature of the Earth causes it to be cold at the poles and warm at the equator. G.What are the prevailing winds? It is in your best interest to draw a picture of the prevailing winds. H.Explain the Lapse Rate. In other words, explain why it gets colder as you go up in elevation. I.Draw and label the wind directions of the four different Jet Streams that circle the planet. J. The following items play an important role in creating climate. Know these items: -Latitude -Prevailing Winds -Albedo (clouds, ice, dust, water) -Thermohaline Circulation -Ocean Temperatures -Distance from Water -Heat Capacity of Water -Elevation (Lapse Rate) -Jet Streams -“CO2 Pollution” caused by volcanic eruptions -Atmospheric Composition (Greenhouse Gases)
