(by the way, you might not be able to see all the pins but i found out that you can move the picture around so you can see all of them.)

weather & climate

wc:Ocean Currents

.Ocean currents is the movement of the water.

.The Gulf stream/north atlantic drift is the movement of warm water from the Gulf of Mexico towards the North Pole.

.This warm current warms the waters on the west coast of Britain.

wc: Distance from sea

.The sea heats up the coast.

.The sun in the summer heats the sea. The sea takes longer to heat up and takes longer to cool again.(like a chicken!!!)

.The land takes slower to heat up and it takes slower to cool down.(like chips) 

wc:Prevailing Winds

.Prevailing winds is the direction in which the wind is blowing in different places.

.Prevailing winds form over warm places.

.If the wing comes across the sea it will be a wet wind and if it came over land it will be a dry wind.

.Warm air brings warm weather.

WC ALTITUDE

.Alitude is the hight above sea level.

.The higher you go the colder it gets.

.The higher you go the air gets thinner so it get colder.

.When you go higher it rains more.

wc:latitude

.How far North or South a place is from the equator.

.The sun makes the the places near the equator more consentrated.

.the equator is hot and there is convectional rainfall there.

.There is low temprature at the top and the bottom of the earth. It is cooler because there is further for the heat of the sun to travel.

wc:Aspect

.Aspect is the direction a slope faces.
.Slopes that face the equator are warm.

.If you live in the north hem you want your garden to face the south because it will be hotter.

But if you live in the south hem you want your garden to face the North.

wc:some stuff at half term

These are some pictures of my grannys hill,i think this looks like relief rainfall.a first the cloud was quite low and then it got higher because the hill pushed it up and there were was someWWWW,It also rained really hard after i went in side.

wc:hurricane Katrina

Responce:It would be $16.7 billion to re-do all the buildings roads and stuff like that.Lots of people but a lot of money into things.(i can't past them all in,it woukd be too long)(I can not find very good things on the web) 

wc:hurricane Katrina

Effects:There was a lot of flooding in the New Orleans.By August 31, 2005, 80% of New Orleans was flooded, with some parts under 15 feet (4.5 m) of water. Hurricane Katrina made its second and third landfalls in the Gulf Coast region on August 29.Roads and buildings were damaged but the real problem was the flooding.

wc:hurricane Katrina

Causes:It is to do with very low preasure out at sea.It draws up warm water on the way.It gets bigger and bigger as it made its way to the Florida coats.It got very fast when it went on the land

wc:hurricane Katrina

Location:hurricane Katrina started in Bahamas it becmae a tropical storm and then slowly moved to the Florida costs bicking up water on the way,it got faster when it got closer to the land.It also got a lot bigger when it got more water.It then settled in the New Orleans.

this is a very wierd video on tornados!!!(sorry i could not think of anything)

wc:low pressure

Low pressure: is warm air rising,it rains wind blow in an anticlockwise,unsettled weather,lots of clouds form,it is a mild weather because all the clouds trap in the heat.

summer=rain!!!

winter=rain!!!

(this is not a very good pic sorry,could not find a video!!)

wc:high pressure

High pressure is caused by cool air sinking and getting warmer,there are no clouds and rain.

summer=no rain,hot,light winds but settled weather.

winter=frost in the morning,clear blue skys,cold but no rain.

The air moves clockwise!!!!(can't find a good video,is there a good website)

wc:convectional rainfall

wc:frontal rainfall

Frontal rainfall study: it is hot air and cold air mixing causing it to rain.

Relife Rainfall study:needs to include hills/mountains.

WWWW:

warm

wet

westly

wind

wc:a new water cycle

i have no idea....sorry.this is a nother one that is a bit more  simple:sorry

olympic video

this is a cool thing on the 2012 olympic games!!!
