Study Notes
Seasonal Changes
- What causes seasons?: Earth's tilt on its axis (23.5°) as it rotates around the Sun
-
Characteristics of each season:
- Spring: Warmth increases, days get longer, plants bloom
- Summer: Warmest season, longest days, school vacation
- Autumn (Fall): Cooling down, days get shorter, leaves change color
- Winter: Coldest season, shortest days, snow and ice
Weather Forecasting
- What is weather forecasting?: Predicting what the weather will be like in the future
-
Tools used in weather forecasting:
- Thermometer: Measures temperature
- Barometer: Measures air pressure
- Hygrometer: Measures humidity
- Anemometer: Measures wind speed and direction
- Radar and satellites: Track weather patterns and storms
-
Types of weather forecasts:
- Short-term: Predicts weather for the next few days
- Long-term: Predicts weather for the next week or month
Natural Disasters
-
Types of natural disasters related to weather and climate:
- Hurricanes: Strong winds and heavy rain near the ocean
- Tornadoes: Rotating columns of air that touch the ground
- Blizzards: Heavy snow and strong winds
- Droughts: Prolonged periods of little to no rain
-
How to stay safe during natural disasters:
- Listen to weather forecasts and warnings
- Have a emergency kit with food, water, and first aid supplies
- Evacuate or seek shelter when necessary
- Stay informed and follow instructions from authorities
Graphing
- What is graphing?: Visual representation of data to show patterns and trends
-
Types of graphs used in weather and climate:
- Line graphs: Show changes in temperature or precipitation over time
- Bar graphs: Compare temperatures or precipitation amounts between different locations or times
- Picture graphs: Use images to show data, such as a picture of a sun for a sunny day
-
How to read and create a graph:
- Identify the title, labels, and units
- Understand the axis (x and y)
- Look for patterns and trends in the data
- Use clear labels and units when creating a graph
