Welcome Back

Welcome back to class grade 10s! Now that you're all warm and dry again, we can start to figure out why we were so wet out on trip!
A huge low pressure system (high kinetic energy, less dense and high moisture air) was sitting off the coast and moving inland.  And what came with it was loads of precipitation!  Understanding how air masses move and interact is the key to figuring out weather patterns, and also understanding the forecasts we hear on the news!

HOMEWORK
For next class I would like you to complete your drawing of the three fronts (Warm, Cold and Occluded).  Please include:

  • labels on the picture
  • description of how they interact
  • characteristics of the weather each front generates
Also... we will have a test on Chapters 10 and 11 on Wednesday October 8th (block 3) or on Thursday October 9th (block B).  We will spend this week looking at chapter 11 and I'll set you up with some review and summary sheets!

Please work through the following review questions in the text -to be handed in before your test:
Pages 460 in text -questions: 2,3,4,12,13,18

Notes from Chapter 10 can be found HERE, though you should have all the pictures in your own notes already.
