Welcome to GEOGRAPHY

Welcome to GEOGRAPHY

1: we study the earth as the dwelling place of man.

How does everything on Earth work (e.g. climate, volcanism, etc.)? This knowledge is quite useful.

2: We study man as an inhabitant of the earth.

How do we use the earth? How do we organize our countries (politically) and economy?

Two types of geography

Human geography = about human activities on earth (cities, cultures, economics, migration, etc.)

Physical geography = about natural features

 and natural processes on Earth

(landscapes, climates, natural disasters, etc.)

What is the difference between weather and climate?

Weather vs. Climate

Weather = the state of the atmosphere in a specific place at a specific time

Climate = The average weather conditions over a longer period

Also: the description of weather is way more specific than the description of a climate. 

Assignment

Give a description of the Dutch climate.

Give a full description of todays weather.

Is todays weather normal for this time of the year?

Describing the weather

Temperature

Wind speed / direction

Cloudiness 

Precipitation

Wind directions

How does rain form?

The basics of rain

1. Water evaporates due to the heat of the sun
2. Warm air rises and cools
3. The water vapour condenses into tiny water droplets
4. Droplets join to form bigger droplets and fall down from the sky

So it's all the Suns fault

Mister Sun hates water

I HATE YOU!!! *SCREAMS*

Aahhhh it burns

The water evaporates

Nailed it!

The water vapour condenses

The wind blows the

water vapour above

land

I HATE YOU!!! *SCREAMS*

The rain falls down...

We call this precipitation

It can occur in the form of 

1. rain

2. snow

3. hail

And slowly finds its way back to the sea...

Via surface run-off

Via groundwater

Other...?

Via surface run-off

Where it all starts

again...

I HATE YOU!!! *SCREAMS*

Aahhhh it burns

We call this the water cycle

Excercise 

Draw the entire water cycle

Use the following English terms: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, groundwater, surface run-off

Can you explain what happens at every step of the water cycle?

Homework (take out your agenda)

Bring a notebook if you haven't got one already

Copy the screenshots into them

Bring a quick-file / slipcover / or something else where you can safely keep your excercises in: and put the watercycle in

Did you enjoy this first geography lesson? (be honest, I don't check names)
