EXPLAIN

Why is the tropical rainforest wet?

Think about: RISING AIR

Write down the steps in
your notebook.

Slide 18 - Diapositive

CONVECTIONAL
RAINFALL
1. Air rises
2. Air cools down
3. Cold air can contain less watervapour
4. Clouds develop -> rain

Slide 19 - Diapositive

You can explain in 3 steps why there are dry areas at 30° northern and southern latitude.
This is exactly the opposite compared to the wet areas!

1. Air goes down
2. ...

Slide 20 - Diapositive

DROUGHT
1. Air goes down
2. Air heats up
3. Hot air can contain more water vapour -> 
                     clouds dissolve

Make exercise 8 at page 32.
