Overview of Weather Unit to Come

Our Weather Unit will cover the following topics:

  • Interaction between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere
  • Cause of weather: unequal heating of the Earth's surface by the Sun
  • Light vs. Heat
  • The Water Cycle
  • Weather Information: pressure, humidity, temperature, and wind
  • Air Masses and Fronts
  • Extreme Weather: hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and droughts
  • Wrap Up: Connection back to energy with a study of thunder and lightning

Should be fun!
