Goals: at the end of the lesson...

• You know the different temperature factors
• You know how land and sea temperature influence each other
• You know how onshore wind and offshore wind are influencing climate

How does relief influence temperature in the USA?

Homework question 6a

5. Wind and mountains!

3. Distance from the sea

Further from the water? Colder AND hotter

Closer to the water? Mild temperatures ('warm' winters and 'cool' summers)

This is Mooh

This is Mooh in the winter!

Influence of the wind on the temperature

• Summer:  Seawater warms up slowly -> wind is cool -> beacause of that it is colder near the coast than inland.
  
• Winter: Seawater cools down slowly -> Wind is not so cold -> near the coast it is warmer than more inland. 
• wind from sea towards land = onshore wind
• wind from land toward sea =  offshore wind

Wind blowing from the land to the ocean is called....

1. offbeach wind
2. offshore wind
3. onsea wind
4. onshore wind

1. True
2. False
