Complete your WANTED Posters for both the High and Low Pressure systems. WE WILL GO OVER HOW TO UPLOAD YOUR FILE INTO C A N VA S T O G E T H E R . Wanted Poster Requirements • You are making two posters. • The name and a picture of the Pressure Systems. • The way they circulate (clockwise or counterclockwise). • The type of weather they bring (fair or rainy). • If they converge or diverge. • They also need a reward. APK: Globe Analogy • Look at the globe. Answer on Nearpod. • Where would you expect to find the coldest areas on Earth? What about the hottest areas? Why? EQ: What are the 4 fronts? • Listen to me read the EQ. • Tell me the EQ. • How many fronts are we learning about today? Guided Practice • What causes different types of weather? • When air masses, fronts, & pressure systems interact. Question • Weather is caused by air masses, fronts, and pressure systems interacting. • True or False? Fronts • As these air masses move and collide with each other, fronts form at the boundaries between the air masses. • Depending upon the air masses involved, a warm front, cold front, stationary front, or occluded front can develop. • Illustrate and color the picture below in your notes. Question What are the four types of fronts? WARM FRONT • When a warm air mass collides and rides over a cold mass, the resulting warm front may produce long periods of precipitation and warmer temps. Question What is the definition of a warm front? COLD FRONT • When a cold air mass collides and slides under a warm air mass, the resulting cold front may produce thunderstorms & sometimes tornadoes & cooler temps. QUESTION •What happens to the cold air mass in a cold front? STATIONARY FRONT • When neither a cold air mass or a warm air mass moves at a frontal boundary, the resulting stationary front may produce long, gentle periods of precipitation. Question • What type of weather does a stationary front bring? OCCLUDED FRONT • When a cold air mass pushes into a warm air mass that is behind a cool air mass, the warm air mass is pushed up above the cooler air masses. The resulting occluded front may produce strong winds & heavy precip. ONLY FRONT W/ 3 AIR MASSES. Questions • A stationary front is the only front with 3 air masses… YES or NO • Which air mass has 3 fronts? Video – Animated Fronts • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdSWC5hYI 0U CLOSURE • Answer the EQ on Nearpod. • Once you are finished you are to complete your study guide homework. Independent Practice • 10 Question Quiz – Open Notes • Socrative: Room Name = Conger • After you have finished your quiz you are to work on your weather booklet. • On the fronts page define each front, list the type of weather for each, draw a colored symbol for each. • Water Cycle Page, Weather Maps, Weather Tools, Clouds and Precipitation pages can be completed. Make sure you read the rubric.
