Content Objective
 I can understand the different types of global winds and what causes them by completing a diagram while using a video clip, teacher explanation, and my text book.

E.ES.07.11 Describe the relationship between the warming of the atmosphere of the Earth by the Sun a
and convection within the atmosphere and oceans.
E.ES.07.13 Describe how the warming of the Earth by the Sun produces wind and ocean currents.

Language Objective
I can write to describe the different types of global winds and what causes them by completing the following sentence frames.

_________ air rises from the surface near the Earth’s _______________ and sinks back to the surface near the _________ to create global convection cells.

These convection cells are disrupted by the _______________ Effect which is caused by ______________________________________________.

This causes winds in the northern hemisphere to __________________________________ and _________________________________ in the southern hemisphere.

HOMEWORK – Finish Trifold and Cornell Notes summary

7.   Warm air rises from the surface near the Earth’s equator and sinks back to the surface near the poles to create global convection cells.
8.  These convection cells are disrupted by the Coriolis Effect which is caused by the Earth spinning on it’s axis.

9.  This causes winds in the northern hemisphere to curve to the right (clockwise) and curve to the left (counterclockwise) in the southern hemisphere.
