3.4 Water

- Recap some small things

- Working with climate graphs

- Water

Name one thing you learned in paragraph 3.4 and one thing you find difficult

Drag the right words to the right arrows

Equator

Tropic of cancer

Polar circle

Recap: Day and night

We have day and night because the Earth turns.

Only half of the Earth receives

light at any given time

In this picture day and night are

the same length throughout

the year

Seasons

Because the

Earth's tilt

Length of day and

night changes

throughout the

year (polar night

and day)

Reading a climate graph

This is a climate graph of the Netherlands

The blue bars tell you the amount of precipitation that fell in that month

The red line tells you the average temperature in that month

So in describing a climate you need the temperature and the precipitation.

Describe this climate

Describe the climate in the previous slide

How do you calculate the average temperature at a certain location?

3.4 Water

Learning goals:

- You can explain how the water cycle works

- You understand how relief rainfall, convectional rainfall and frontal rainfall are being formed

Match the concepts and the definitions by draging the concept to the right definition

Rain that forms when it is very hot and a lot of water evaporates and rises.

The process in which sea water evaporates and falls back into the sea through clouds and precipitation.

The process in which seawater evaporates and flows back to the sea through clouds, precipitation, groundwater and rivers.

Rain that forms when air is blown against a mountain and is forces to rise.

Relief rainfall

Convectional rainfall

Long water cycle

Short water cycle

Drag the right concept to the right arrow

Precipitation

Condensation

Evaporation

When is a climate wet or dry?

This climate has a wet and dry season. The wet season has very short, heavy showers. In the dry season there is almost no rain. So on average it is quite dry.

This climate is quite wet. There are no heavy rains as on the left, but it rains constantly throughout the year. There is no dry season.

In the clip they talk about orographic rain. What other name for this type of rain did you learn?

1. Convectional rainfall
2. Relief rainfall
3. Frontal rainfall
4. Monsoon

What type of rainfall does this picture show?

What type of rainfall did this picture show?

1. Orographic rainfall
2. Relief rainfall
3. Convectional rainfall
4. Frontal rainfall

Where do we find frontal rainfall according to the clip?

1. At mid-latitudes, where cold air meets warm air
2. At high latitudes where it is cold and it snows a lot
3. At low latitudes where there is a lot of evaporation
4. Everywhere

What do we need for convectional rainfall?

1. A sea
2. Cold air
3. Mountains
4. High temperatures

What drives the hydrological cycle?

1. Gravity
2. The Sun
3. Turning of the Earth
4. The seasons
