WEATHER and GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
- Model and describe how unequal heating and rotation of the Earth cause patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates.
- Provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions.
- Develop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth's systems driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity
- Provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions.
- Analyze data on natural hazards to forecast future catastrophic events and inform the development of technologies to mitigate their effects.
- Ask questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over the past century.
- Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment.
