Lesson plan Subject : Geography Grade: 12 Du ration: 2 hours Number of learners: 55 2. Learning intentions of the lesson Knowledge: For learners to gain specific knowledge on the impacts of tropical cyclones. Skills: Learners will gain communication skills during the lesson as this will be part of the discussion and they will be able to identify when tropical cyclones are approaching. Values: At the end of this lesson, learners will be able to identify the impacts of tropical c...

The energy supplying a mid latitude (extratropical) cyclone can come from both the potential energy contained in air mass temperature contrasts and oceanic fluxes of heat (sensible and latent), while tropical cyclones are powered only by ocean heat fluxes - primarily latent heat. - True East Coast cyclonic storms are efficient precipitation producers because of proximity to the warm Atlantic ocean, where ocean moisture fluxes are very high. - True Compared to hurricanes, extratropical cycl...

WX 201 Exam 2 Questions and Answers Already Passed The main difference between a cloud drop and a raindrop is its ____. size In a fact that surprises many people, small raindrops fall ____ large raindrops, and have ____ terminal velocity than/as large raindrops. slower than; a lesser Atmospheric conditions that produce sleet differ from those that produce hail because for sleet to form, surface temperatures must be below freezing, whereas surface temperatures are typically well abov...

In the northern hemisphere, cyclones rotate clockwise. correct answer: False The Coriolis effect causes air to flow from the equator to the poles in a straight line. correct answer: False Warm air that rises in the tropics creates the intertropical convergence zone. correct answer: True Midlatitude cyclones last for months and are responsible for most everyday weather events in the polar regions. correct answer: False Thunderstorms develop over land when an updraft of warm, humid...

Maritime polar Continental tropical Maritime tropical Continental polar Continental tropical The continental arctic (cA) air mass is usually produced at high latitudes by persistent: Radiational cooling It's January and you're in Portland, Oregon. The wind is blowing from the west at 10 knots and it's drizzling. What type of air mass are you likely experienci...

How can you identify a region of strong pressure gradient on a weather map? What does strong pressure gradient imply about the strength of wind? Answers- When isobars are closer then there is a higher pressure gradient. That means the winds are stronger where pressure gradient is highest What are the forces that act on the air to make wind blow? Answers- - The pressure gradient is the source for all wind. - Air moves from high pressure to low pressure In the Northern Hemisphere, why do w...
