  1. Science Starter 9.11-12.12 Based on the hurricane’s path, which of these describes the fate of this hurricane? It will make landfall on Alaska and weaken as it moves over the land. B. It will bounce off the Kamchatka Peninsula, spinning it down toward Japan. C. Cold arctic air around the Aleutian Islands will push the hurricane to move south toward the Hawaiian Islands. D. Cold arctic air around the Aleutian Islands will weaken the hurricane, and it will breakapartbefore hitting landfall.

  2. Science Starter9.12-14.12 Table 1 Table 2 Which table represents a land breeze and which represents a sea breeze? EXPLAIN (give details) about what happens with heating/cooling and winds for each table.

  3. Fronts Take out your Front Chart (on back of Air Mass map) Begin reading about the four different fronts Textbook…page 599 – 601

  4. Answer the questions below on a clean sheet of notebook paper. • Which direction is the warm front in the Gulf of Mexico moving? • Describe the kind of weather Dallas, Texas is experiencing. • What kind of front is over Canada, Montana, and North Dakota? • What kind of weather is San Francisco, California experiencing?

  5. Hurricanes Can these giants be tamed?

  6. Yes! Hurricanes can…sort of! Hurricanes can be “steered” when strong High pressure systems are nearby.

  7. Yes! Hurricanes can…sort of! If a strong Low Pressure system and strong cold front are moving across the US, they can “suck” the hurricane into the system and push the hurricane with them to the east.

  8. Suppose the high pressure had been centered at 79° W and 30° N. Explain how this would have affected the hurricane’s path.

  9. The hurricane below has been moving in a northwest direction. Could the path change? Explain why.
