Standard Assessed by this DBA:
SES5. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to investigate the interaction of solar energy and Earth’s systems to produce weather and climate.
a. Develop and use models to explain how latitudinal variations in solar heating create differences in air pressure, global wind patterns, and ocean currents that redistribute heat globally.
You will be expected to be able to explain and answer questions about the following topics and should not need to refer to notes while doing so. Please prepare. Keep in mind this is a general topic/question list and by no means encompasses everything that could be asked.
Step 1: Investigate heat transfer to and on planet Earth. Using edgenuity, your notes and the following resources prepare yourself to discuss the transfer of Energy first to the Earth, and then how that energy gets transferred in our Atmosphere and Oceans.
Step 2: Schedule your DBA call with your teacher
Teacher Calendars:
Step 3: upload a blank document to activate this assignment for grading and so you can continue working while you wait for your DBA appointment.
