2. Instructions: 1.Get your notebook and write the title and date. The title of the lesson is “Weather map”. 2. Copy the Essential Question. 3. Copy and answer the question on each slide. 4. Draw the picture when needed.

3. Essential Question How do I interpret weather maps? (15b7)

4. Seasons on Earth

5. 1. What is a weather map? A weather map displays information of various meteorological quantities at various levels of the atmosphere.

6. 2. What are the common weather map symbols? Cold Front Strong winds and severe thunderstorms. Heavy rain or snow may fall. It is fast moving.

7. 2. What are the common weather map symbols? Warm Front Scattered clouds if the warm air is dry ( low humidity). If the warm air is humid, showers or light rain or drizzle fall along the front. This type of front moves slow.

8. 2. What are the common weather map symbols? Stationary Front Water vapor in the warm air condenses into rain, snow, fog, or clouds. Rain can prolong for many days causing flooding. Can remain stalled over an area for many days

9. 2. What are the common weather map symbols? Occluded Front Cloudy, rainy or snowy weather. Light to severe storm. Cold front overtakes warm front

10. 3. How do we predict weather using weather maps? 6.50

11. Weather Map

12. High and Low Pressure

13. Weather Balloon

14. Doppler radar with Isobars Isobars

15. Doppler radar with Isobars Wind direction

16. Weather forecasting involves a combination of different factors like wind direction, change in air pressure, fronts, temperature, humidity, and others.

17. Station Model

18. Orographic lift occurs when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain. As the air mass gains altitude it quickly cools down adiabatically. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orographic_lift http://earthscience-in-the- nationalparks.wikispaces.com/Death+Valley 4. Why does it rain on top of the mountain?

19. Adiabatic cooling is the process of reducing heat through a change in air pressure caused by volume expansion.

20. An increase in pressure results to an increase in temperature.

21. Orographic Precipitation

22. 5. Identify the different symbols in a weather map. 4.33 Weather fronts isobars

23. 6. How does weather change from place to place?

24. 7. What are the Weather Patterns across the United States? 5.505.50

25. 8. What has most likely occurred in this area? A. A blizzard has taken place. B. A high-pressure system has stalled. C. A warm front has passed. D. A cold front has passed The decrease in air pressure was accompanied by lower temperature.

27. 9. Write 10 vocabulary words and define at least 5. 44.01
