Sea currents and climate

   Influence precipitation                            Influence temperature

Europe

warm onshore wind

Goals:

At the end of the class you can:

• describe how relief affects climate;

Necessary prior knowledge

You know the higher the colder
You can read a climategraph
You know the difference between elevation and latitude
You know how precipication occurs

1km omhoog is 6 graden kouder

Lijn is temperatuur en staafjes zijn neerslag

Map relief Europe

The Netherlands

What do you notice when you look at the relief of the Netherlands?

Do you know the name of this mountain range?

Do you know the name of this mountain range?

Mont Blanc = Highest mountain in Europe 4800 m

Rivers from the Alps end up in the Netherlands.
Rule: a river originates in the mountains and runs to the sea!

Relief

= Difference in height

There are 4 forms of relief from high to low

■ high mountain range, with most peaks higher than 1,500 metres (Figure 4.21)
■ low mountain range, with most peaks between 500 and 1,500 metres (Figure 4.22)
■ hills, with most peaks between 200 and 500 metres
■ lowland, areas with an elevation of less than 200 metres.

Shape of Europe

Peninsula

area that is surrounded by water on three sides and is only connected to a continent by a small piece of land

indented coast

A coastline with many bays and inlets, allowing the sea to flow far inland.
