1
1 2.5 Distance from the Oceans Understand how distance from the oceans affects climate
2
2 2.5.1 Define Temperature Range The range between the highest and the lowest average annual (monthly) temperatures of a region.
3
3 2.5.1 Define Temperature Range Large or high temperature range = extremes of temperature, hot summer cold winter. Small or low temperature range = moderated temperature, warm summer, cool winter
4
4 2.5.2 Relationship between range of temperature and distance from ocean As distance form the ocean increases, annual temperature range increases. Continental climates experience greater extremes of temperature than coastal climates at the same latitude
5
5 2.5.2 Relationship between range of temperature and distance from ocean Warm summers & cool winters Hot summers & cold winter
6
6 2.5.2 practice City Low & high temp.Dist. From ocean KmTemp. range St. Johns-4 to +150 Regina-17 to +191350 Ottawa-11 to +21700 Quebec city-11 to +20350 Cities considered in this exercise are all between 44 o & 50 o Try scatter graph p. 69 #33 Table Page 70 36 19 32 31

7 2.5.3 Define Monsoon From Arabic for seasonal wind A sudden wet season followed by dry season in the tropics Monsoon Regions
8
8 2.5.4 Explain why winter and summer monsoons occur Continental Asia cools High atm. pressure results Wind southward towards the low over Indian ocean Very little rain; wind blowing over dry land India’s Winter monsoon H L
