TODAY'S GOALS

1. You can describe 3 changes that happen during a El Niño event.
   
2. You can name at least 4 consequences of El Niño for the north of Chile.
   
3. You can explain why Chile’s seasons are opposite of Dutch seasons (GG 35).

Let's go!

• Read El Niño at page 45 in your coursebook.
• Make exercise 8 & 9 in your workbook.

Finished?

• Grab an atlas and make 5, 6 & 7.

Rules - You work alone and in silence.

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

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).
   

Consequences

OPEN PAGE

45 IN YOUR

COURSEBOOK

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

2. Altitude

The higher, the colder.

TEMPERATURE FACTORS

Why is it warm or cold somewhere?

3. Land or sea

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

SEASONS

You can explain why Chile’s seasons are opposite of Dutch seasons (GG 35).

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.

1. Latitude

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

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.

#3 Ocean currents

Rule #3: How further away from warm ocean currents, how colder (its winter)
