  1. Climate Patterns

  2. Areas of Focus Questions: • How is climate different than weather? • How is a climate region determined? • How does global location play a role in climate? • How does climate affect patterns of human settlement?

  3. Climate vs. Weather: What is the difference? Weather • The condition of the atmosphere at a given time and place. • What it is like outside right now. Climate • The weather conditions in an area over a long period of time.

  4. Climographs • What exactly is a pattern of weather? • Yearly temperatures and precipitation levels are measured and tracked to determine a particular pattern of weather in an area A climograph, like the three displayed above shows both temperature and rainfall per month. What can you tell about these three locations based on the climographs? What do you notice about the location of the three cities? Why do you think differences exist?

  5. What type of map is this? What can it be used for? • Climate patterns vary across the globe. You will read the handout on climate and complete Cornell notes and the graphic organizer on the back to better understand the essential question— What factors influence climate patterns across the globe?

  6. Note Taking Techniques • Cornell notes • Notice the essential question at the top. Your notes should be focused on gathering evidence to answer that question • You will use the right side to take notes • You will use the left side to write questions about your notes • We will do the first part together

  7. Graphic Organizer • You may work with a partner to complete the graphic organizer on your own. • You will have 10 minutes!

  8. CLIMATE TYPES AND LATITUDE high subarctic, tundra, and ice cap Mediterranean, humid subtropical, marine west coast, and humid continental middle low humid tropical and tropical savanna Mediterranean, humid subtropical, marine west coast, and humid continental middle high subarctic, tundra, and ice cap 90° N Cold Most of the Time Temperature vary by seasons Warm Year-Round 0° Temperatures vary by season Cold Most of the Time 90° S What climate regions are not found on this chart? Why? Desert, steppe and highland. These climate regions can be found on various parts of the globe.

  9. How does the climate of an area affect human settlement in areas?M.R.H.E.L.P Class Paper Slide Project • You will work in 12 groups (each group will have 2-3 members) • Let’s read the paper slide organizer together and get started!

  10. And… Action!
