CLIMATES OF THE WORLD

Climates of the World  The “Rain-Shadow Effect”

Climates of the World Warm, moist air comes off of the seas. Dry air comes down the other side of the mountain; causes evaporation of moisture. Clouds are pushed up the mountain; rain comes from cooling.

Climates of the World  The Rain-Shadow Have students draw this picture in their notebooks.

Climates of the World Tropical Rain Forest, Monsoon (wet) Tropical Savanna (wet summer, dry winter) Steppe (semi-arid) Desert (dry) Mediterranean (dry summer) Humid Subtropical Marine West Coast (no dry season) Humid Continental, Warm Summer Humid Continental, Cool Summer Subarctic (snow climate) Tundra (cold ice climate) Ice Cap

Climates of the World Tropical Rain Forest, Monsoon (wet) Tropical Savanna (wet summer, dry winter) Steppe (semi-arid) Desert (dry) Mediterranean (dry summer) Humid Subtropical Marine West Coast (no dry season) Humid Continental, Warm Summer Humid Continental, Cool Summer Subarctic (snow climate) Tundra (cold ice climate) Ice Cap Use page C61 in the White Book!

Objective 04/16/2012 Outro Identify the factors that determine climates Which type of climate did you find most interesting, and why?
