Landscape and climate in Chile

Mountain ranges can block prevailing winds, so they can be a dividing line between 2 climates.

QUESTION 4

Explain in 3 steps why there is precipitation in a low pressure area.

QUESTION 8

Look at figure 3.

a Which characteristic of a subduction zone is marked with number 1? Name a term.

b Figure 3 shows an earthquake zone. Explain why the earthquakes in the east of that zone are less heavy than those in the west.

c Explain why there are no volcanoes in the non-volcanic zone, while there are volcanoes east of this zone. Use a cause and an effect in your answer.

QUESTION 9a

Name the cause for volcanism on the Kerguelen Islands.

9b According to map D the middle of the Indian Ocean has earthquakes,

but none of them are heavy. 

Give the reason for the fact that there are only light tremors here.

10a What is the number of inhabitants of Concepción?

b Which 2 relief types occur in the surroundings of Concepción?

10c Use a continental thematic map about temperature and precipitation in July. What is the temperature of Concepción in July? Write you answer like this: ‘in between … °C and … °C’.

El Niño

What is the plan for today?

Repeat: TEMPERATURE FACTORS

START: EL NIÑO

TEMPERATURE

FACTORS

1. You can name the 6 temperature factors (G37).
   
2. For each temperature factor you can explain how it influences temperature in a certain place (G38, G42, G43, G44, G45, G46).
   

TEMPERATURE FACTORS

Why is it warm or cold somewhere?

1. Latitude

The closer you are to the equator, the warmer it is.

2. Altitude

The higher, the colder.

3. Land or sea

• Land heats up and cools down quicker than water.
  
• Land and water influence the temperature of the air above it.
  

4.Onshore/

offshore wind

• This factor only applies to places close to the sea.
• Onshore wind moderates temperature (cool summers, mild winters), while offshore winds cause bigger temperature differences.

5. Ocean currents

Warm current -> warmer air

Cold current -> colder air

6. Location of 

    mountain

    ranges

Mountain ranges can block prevailing winds, so they can be a dividing line between 2 climates.

NIÑO

Answer the following goals

via the next video:

You can describe 3 changes that happen during a El Niño event.

You can name at least 4 consequences of El Niño for the north of Chile.

EL NIÑO

Climatic phenomenon that heats sea water

in the central and eastern Pacific.

Once every three to seven years, el Niño lasts about six months and the peak is often around Christmas.

5. Ocean currents

Warm current -> warmer air

Cold current -> colder air
