  1. Intro to wind Anna Ward ~ James Martin MS

  2. Do Now!!! Page 44

  3. FOLDABLE…Room Heat transfer Facts • We are going to be collecting facts about heat transfer around the room. • Your foldable will be attached to PAGE 45 of your science notebook!!!

  4. Jet stream (PAGE 44) • The jet stream is a wind that flows in the upper troposphere from west to east over vast distances at great speeds.

  5. Jet Stream: Explained • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgMWwx7Cll4

  6. The jet Stream • The Jet Stream: • Wind speeds are very high in the upper troposphere. This is where you find the JET STREAM. • They are fairly narrow zones of very strong winds • Move from WEST to EAST • They influence the majority of weather patterns

  7. Brain POP! Video and quiz • http://www.brainpop.com/science/weather/wind/

  8. What is wind anyway???Page 46 • Wind is the horizontal movement of air caused by the differences in air pressure. • Wind moves from HIGH to LOW pressure. • Also affected by temperature. All winds result from the uneven heating of the atmosphere.

  9. EXIT TICKET • What is the importance of the jet stream? • Moves weather patterns around the world • Helps eliminate greenhouse gasses • Shifts air movement so that pollen crosses state boundaries • Blocks solar radiation • What causes the movement of air we call wind? • As Earth rotates, the air above it is pushed in the same direction as Earth’s rotation. • As Earth rotates, the air above it moves in the opposite direction of Earth’s rotation. • As a result of Earth’s surface being heated unevenly, differences in density and air pressure develop, and air moves from high to low pressure areas, causing winds. • As a result of Earth’s surface being heated unevenly, differences in density and air pressure develop, and air moves from low to high pressure areas, causing winds.
