Exercises 1 to 4

p. 30/31

EXERCISES 3 + 4

Make sure you fill in W6 correct!

TODAY'S GOALS

1. You can describe the vegetation in the savanna, steppes and desert.
2. You can explain why the vegetation in the savanna, steppe and desert differs from each other. 

------------------------

1. You can explain in 3 steps why there are dry areas at 30° northern and southern latitude.

Let's go!

You need your GeoGuide, but first; look up in your coursebook which GeoGuidenumber you need. (these are the green ones)

Answer the following questions in your notebook:

1. You can describe the vegetation in the tropical rainforest, savanna, steppes and desert.
2. You can explain why the vegetation in the tropical rainforest, savanna, steppe and desert differs from each other. 

Draw the landscape zones with their different plants. Write down as many features as possible!

- Add the correct amount of precipitation.

- Use the figures in your GeoGuide.

REPEAT /

EXPLAIN

Why is the tropical rainforest wet?

Think about: RISING AIR

Write down the steps in

your notebook.

CONVECTIONAL

RAINFALL

1. Air rises

2. Air cools down

3. Cold air can contain less watervapour

4. Clouds develop -> rain

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. ...

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.
