3. CLIMATE
Climate and weather are NOT the same!
Climate is the average weather of a region
over a long period of time. Climatologists
collect weather data every day in a specific
region inorder to officially establish a specific
climate for a place or season. Most
climatologists need atleast 10 years to
determine a region’s climate.

18. ATMOSPHERE
The atmosphere is a thinlayer of mixed gases that covers the Earth. It also
makes up the airwe breathe. And helps the Earth from becoming too hot or
too cold.

19. WEATHER-AIRPRESSURE
 Low pressurehappenswhen the
air pressureis lower than nearby
areas.
 Whenthe air gets warm, it
expands and rises.
 Ina low pressuresystem, expect
wet weather andwarmer
temperatures.
 A low pressuresystem is
represented as a big, red L on
weathermaps.
LOW PRESSURE AREA

20. WEATHER-AIRPRESSURE
 High pressure occurs whentheair
pressure inanarea is greater
thanthe airpressure in surrounding
areas.
 In ahigh pressure system, expect
sunny,dryweather, andcooler
temperatures .(Think…fair weather
andlightwinds)
 Because thetemperaturesare
cooler in high pressureareas,air
sinks.
HIGH PRESSURE AREA

21. WEATHER-AIRMASS
 Air massesare largebodies of air (“blocks” of air) that movethough the
atmosphere and havethe same temperature, moisture, and pressure.
 Theyare responsible for most of the weather that we experience.
AIRMASS

22. WEATHERFRONTS
 Frontsare boundaries that
separate warm air masses from
cold air masses.
 They canextend in both vertical
and horizontal directions.
 There are two basic types of fronts:
Cold Front & Warm Front.
FRONTS

23. COLD FRONT
Cold fronts usuallymove from northwest to southeast.
© 2014, A. Bailey

24.  A warm front pushes the cold air massout and brings in warm,moist air.
 Warm fronts usually move from southwest to northeast.

25. It all begins with the sun! The
sun is the reason why we experience different
kinds of
weather on earth. Since this energy from the sun
heats up the Earth's surface and atmosphere, some
of it is or becomes heat energy. Conduction,
convection, and radiation are the three ways heat is
transferred into the atmosphere.
HEAT TRANSFER

26. HEAT TRANSFER
CONDUCTIONOUCH!!
This handle
is hot!
Conductionis thetransfer
ofheat energy between
thingsthataredirectly
touching.Conductioncan
happenwithinone object.
Forexample,when youare
cooking,heatenergy can be
conductedthroughthe
handleofa metalpot.

27. Why would picking upa cup of hot
chocolate be an exampleof
conduction?
• Thehot chocolate is in direct
contact with the cup.
• When thecupis pickedup, it
will bein direct contact with
your hand.
• Heat is transferred through
objects that are touching.
HEAT TRANSFER
CONDUCTION
© 2014, A. Bailey

28. HEAT TRANSFER
CONVECTION
Convection is the movement of
heat energy by the movement of
liquids or gases. Convection in
oceans and the atmosphere helps
todistribute heat energy
around Earth and is an important
factor influencingweather and
climate. Because the Sunhits
Earth’s surface and warms the air
nearthe ground,the warm, less
dense air is moved upwards . As
a result, clouds are formed.
Clouds Form
Sun heats the
ground.
Warm air rises

29. HEAT TRANSFER
CONVECTION
Whywoulda hot airballoonrising
be an exampleof convection?
• Remember,convection isthe
movementof gasesand liquids
caused by heattransfer.
• Airisa mixtureof gases,and as
gasesareheated, theywarm,
expand, and rise.

30. HEAT TRANSFER
RADIATION
Radiationis thetransfer ofenergy by
electromagnetic waves.
Electromagneticwavescantransport
energy throughplaceswithor without
anymatter.The Sunis themainsource
ofelectromagnetic energy on Earth.
Radiationcanalsohappenin other
situationssuch asstandingin frontofa
fireplace. Thething toremember is
radiationis not"felt" untilit is
absorbed by asubstance.

32. •Clouds result from the condensation of water vapor
in the air.
•Nighttime clouds keepthe earth warmerand daytime
clouds keep the earth cooler.
•The names of clouds are Latin, and these names
describe the cloud’s height from the ground and its
shape.

34. CLOUD
CLOUD TYPES
All clouds form in the troposphere.
Themain types of clouds are:
Cumulus (meaning"heap"or "pile"): puffy clouds that appear to rise up
from a flat bottom.
Stratus(meaning "layer"):short and spread across great distances; they
form inblanket like layers.
Cirrus (meaning"curl of hair"): wispy and thin; form at very high altitudes
out of ice crystals and havewispy, featherlike shape.
Nimbus (meaning"rain"or "rainycloud"): likely to bringprecipitation
(like rainor snow).

45. WATER CYCLE
Each step in the water cycleinfluences weather becauseit controls the distribution ofwater on
Earth and in the atmosphere. This is most evident in the form of clouds andprecipitation
because they are evidence of water moving through the water cycle.

46. WATER CYCLE
Duringevaporation,
heatfromtheSun

47. WATER CYCLE
Run-off happens after precipitation. Thiswater that has fallen
back to the groundeither soaks into the soil or makes itway
back into another body of water suchas a puddle, ocean, lake,
etc.

48. JET STREAMS
Jet streamsare powerful windsthat travel at high altitudes and can reachspeedsbetween120-250mph . They influence
precipitationand temperaturesand markboundaries betweenhuge air masses.
Jet streamsareimportant to themoving ofhighs and lows that affectour weatherand lives on a day by day basis.Jet streamsare
found at or just belowthe top of thetroposphere.

49. JET STREAMS
Jet streamsdevelop whenair
flows fromcold,high
pressure regions into warm,
low pressure regions. The
largerthetemperature
difference,thestrongerthe jet
stream.
© 2014, A. Bailey

50. JET STREAMS
Thetwo jet streams that directly affect U.S. weather and transport weather systems are the polar jet stream and the
subtropical jet stream. Thepolar and subtropical jets are both westerly, meaning they travel fromthe west toeast. Both jet
streams move north and south with the seasons.

51. REASONS FOR SEASONS
I heardthat some parts ofthe
year arewarmer because
we're closer tothe Sun. Isthat
true?
© 2014, A. Bailey

52. REASONS FOR SEASONS
Great question, but it’s not the distance fromthe
Sun, it’s the round shape and tilt of the Earth.
See, the portion of Earth that’s tilted toward the
Sun receives moredirect sunlight and has
summer. Thepart that’s tilted away gets only
indirect sunlight and has winter.

55. So, the ROUNDshape and the TILT are two big reasons why we have
seasons, butthere is another reason why wetilt either away ortoward the Sun
at different times during the year. TheEarth REVOLVES around theSun
(takes about 365 ¼ days to make a complete revolution)! Take a look at
howEarth revolves around the Sun.

56. WhenEarth orbits, it reaches Fourmain
points.

•Spring begins in late March.
•TheTexas tilt is balanced again.
•We have12 hour days and 12 hour nights.

60. Now, I knowwhywe haveseason on Earth!
• First, roundplanets heat up whenthey get direct sunlight and are
colder at the poles (top an bottom).
• Second, the Earth’s axis is TILTED23.5degrees.
• Lastly, as Earth revolves around the Sun, thetilt causes different
parts of it to get moreor less sunlight for a few months, causing the
weather and daylight to change.

63. WINDSAFFECT WEATHER
As you can see in the figure, the
direction ofthe winds change
with latitude because of the
rotation of the Earth.
In themiddle latitudes, where
the U.S.is located, the prevailing
(main) winds move from west to
east (Hint…think about the word
WE).

Prevailing winds are also
knownas Prevailing Westerlies,
and they affect ourweather
because they move weather
systemsfrom west to east and
they determine the movement

65. WINDSAFFECT WEATHER
Local winds moveacrosssmaller distances than
global winds and. move closer to the surfaceofEarth
These winds areless predictable becausethey react
to changesin air pressure.
Local winds also change becauseofgeographical
featuresas mountains, valleys, and bodies of water.
LOCAL WINDS

66. WINDSAFFECT WEATHER
Local winds change when land meets large bodies of
water.
It’s important to understand that water takes a long time
to heat and cool, while land heats and cools quickly.
Thegreater the difference in the rates of heating and
cooling between land and water, the stronger the winds
(Remember:when warmand cool air masses collide, wind
is created).
LOCAL WINDS
© 2014, A. Bailey

67. WINDSAFFECT WEATHER
A sea breeze is whenair flows from the
sea to the land.
Duringthe day,the land is heated up
faster by the Sun, causing the air over land to
become warmerthan the air over water.
As a result, warm air rises over the land
and air over water sinks (air is moving from
high to low pressure, causing winds)
Sea breezes are why beaches arenormally
extremelywindy!

68. WINDSAFFECT WEATHER
A land breeze is the reverse of a sea
breezebecause wind moves from the
land tothe sea.
At night, land cools quickerthanwater,
and the air over the land is now cooler
than the air over water.
Remember,cooler airis more dense and
begins to sink (high pressure) while the
warmerair over the water begins to rise
(low pressure).
