1 Starter task: What am I? I am extremely large (up to 772 km across)
I form in the tropics I have four different names depending on where I form I have an ‘eye’. I need warm and deep seas to form I used to only get given girls names! I can cause lots of damage when I dissipate my energy. I have very strong winds and lots of moisture! I am a low pressure weather event WHAT AM I?

2 Learning Goal #1: To identify WHAT is a tropical storm
Buzz with your partners – what 5 words would you give to describe the physical geography happening in this photograph?

3 A tropical storm is a rotating spiral of high winds and low pressure.
To identify what a tropical storm is A tropical storm is a rotating spiral of high winds and low pressure. What do you notice about the names of tropical storms on this map?

4 What is the difference between a hurricane, typhoon and cyclone?
Only geography. Tropical storms occur in several of the world's oceans, and except for their names, they are essentially the same type of storm.

5 Geography of Tropical Storms
In the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Eastern Pacific Ocean, they are called hurricanes. In the Western Pacific Ocean, they are called typhoons. In the Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal, and Australia, these types of storms are called cyclones.

6 Learning Goal 2: To describe WHERE tropical storms develop
Extension: Why do they form in these locations? Can you name the 3 features found here? Warm ocean temperatures (27°C or more) Deep water (50m or more) Trade winds

7 Check your Knowledge: What would you now like to add?
Reflecting on my progress: 1 = I don’t know anything 10 = I feel very confident. Lesson Goals To identify what a tropical storm is. To describe where tropical storms develop. What do I know? What do I want to find out? What have I learned?

8 Click link above for animation
Learning Goal: To explain HOW tropical storms are FORMED. Fill in the story board while watching the Hurricane animation. Extension questions: What causes tropical storms to die out? Could Canada ever have a tropical storm? Why? Click link above for animation

9 Check your Knowledge: Describe the location of where tropical storms form (3 marks). Explain why Tropical Storms occur in these parts of the world (3 marks).

10 Describe the location of where tropical storms form (3 marks).
Mark scheme 3 locational points needed. These could include: They form between the equator and tropic of Cancer/Capricorn (1). The form to the north and south of the equator (1) Could mention a specific ocean for (1) Could say to the east of Asia/North of Australia for (1)

11 Explain why Tropical Storms occur in these parts of the world (3 marks).
MARK SCHEME Oceans have deep seas which are needed for formation (1) Around the equator are warm seas (above 27 degrees) which are needed for formation (1) as air will rise to form a low pressure system (1) rising moist air then condenses forming the thick clouds and heavy rain (1) At the equator, the trade winds help the storm to spin (1).

12 Mini Quiz 10 Questions What is the minimum temperature needed for Hurricanes to form? Do air particles move from areas of low to high pressure or from areas of high to low pressure to create winds? What is the name of the winds which blow from the equator and start to spin the Hurricane? When the clouds stretch over such a large distance they are effected by the rotation of the earth this is known as the ______ effect? What is the name given to the centre of a Hurricane?

13 In which Ocean do Typhoons form? Do Hurricanes tend to travel
What is the word given to describe the spinning high winds and heavy rainstorms? In which Ocean do Typhoons form? Do Hurricanes tend to travel West then South? East then North? West then North? What happens to a Hurricanes energy when it reaches land? Increases Decreases Stays the Same What scale is used to measure the strength of a Hurricane?

14 Check Your Answers! 27 degrees Celsius High to low Trade Winds
Coriolis Effect Eye Vortex Pacific C – West then North B – Decreases Saffir-Simpson

15 Homework due: Friday Tropical storm recipe
Use your notes to create a Tropical storm recipe. Present in a clear, colourful and creative way. Ingredients e.g. water temp, wind speeds etc. Best time to cook: (times of year) Three different types Size of finished product Cooking instructions (how is a tropical storm created?) Include a diagram

16 You need to choose 5 things and be able to justify your choice.
Drinking Water Battery-operated NOAA Weather Radio Canned Food Portable Alarm Clock Manual Can Opener Extra Batteries Extra Prescription Medicine Flashlights Eating Utensils Rope First Aid Kit Hammer and Nails Trash Bags Duct Tape Cash Extension Cords Pillows and Blankets Sleeping Bags Mosquito Repellent Water Jugs Cleaning Supplies
