Master ocean currents, weather maps, and plate tectonics! Interactive learning for earth science.

8.10 A,B,C Ocean Currents and Weather Watch the Video and Answer the Questions What is causing the sea breeze? Convection Wind Hurricanes Because of the Gulf Stream, what sort of weather do you expect on the east coast of North America? Less humid and less rain Cool temperatures and high winds Strong winds and less rain Warmer temperatures and more humid Why would Norfolk experience cooler summers and warmer winters than Fort St. Louis? It is closer to the Atlantic Ocean It gets more sunlight It has a greater average intensity of sunlight Explaining Weather Maps Weather Map Symbols Name Symbol Definition Weather Prediction Warm Front Warm air mass Warm with showers Cold Front Cold air mass Cold and stormy Cyclone Low pressure zone "Lousy weather" : cloudy and stormy Anticyclone High pressure zone "Happy weather" : clear and sunny Weather Map Label the map with weather predictions:Clear and sunny Cold and stormy Warm with showers Clear and sunny Cold and stormy Warm with showers Hurricane Video Where would a hurricane most likely occur? Southern Ocean Atlantic Ocean Arctic Ocean The longer a hurricane stays over water: The weaker it becomes The stronger it becomes No change will happen TEK 8.9 A,B,C What scientist first formally proposed that the Earth's landmasses were once joined together as one giant super continent that had since drifted apart? Isaac Newton Alfred Wegener Albert Einstein Galileo Galilei The name given to the super-continent was: Laurasia The Americas Gondwana Pangaea Use the images above to correctly match each crustal feature to the plate boundary interaction that would create it. -Folded mountains would be formed at plate boundary C.-Faults and earthquakes would be formed at plate boundary B.Island arcs, trenches, and volcanic island would be formed at plate boundary A.-Volcanic mountains and trenches would be formed at plate boundary E.-Rift valleys or mid-ocean ridges would be formed at plate boundary D. Look at the plate boundary located off the western coast of South America (above). This is most likely an area of - Sea-floor spreading because the plates are spreading apart. Folded mountains because the plates are colliding. Subduction because the plates are colliding. Mid-ocean ridges because the plates are pulling apart. Fin in the correct plate boundary for each image.Word Bank:transform convergent divergent Divergent Convergent Transform A family wants to climb Rock Mountain, but they would prefer to take the easiest path that has the most gentle slope. Which side of Rock Mountain should they climb? the Northeast side the South side the Southeast side the West side Use this image to answer the following questions. Is someone is standing at the highest elevation on Holland Hill (shown by the asterisk *), what elevation (in feet) might they be standing at? 560 551-559 570 561-569 A hiker is hiking from location Y to location Z. What is the difference in elevation between these two locations? 10 ft. 20 ft. 30 ft. 40 ft. What is the lowest elevation on this map? 460 ft. 470 ft. 480 ft. 490 ft. The contour interval of this map is 10 ft. What is a contour interval? The difference in rock age between one geologic unit and the next. The change (or difference) in elevation between two successive contour lines. The difference in color between one contour line and the next.
