Chapter 22 & 23: Weather & Atmosphere
This unit is a combination of weather and it's related phenomena (tornadoes, cyclones, wind storms), along with composition of our atmosphere, and how energy from the sun effects our climate and weather.
State Standards:
(B) H2E2: Explain how Earth’s atm, geosphere, and hydrosphere, change over time and at varying rates. Explain techniques used to elucidate the history of events on Earth.
(B) H1E2: Describe the structure, function, and composition of Earth’s atmosphere, geosphere, and hydrosphere
(B) H2E1: Identify and predict the effect of energy sources, physical forces, and transfer processes that occur in the Earth system.
