Revision on Sea and LAnd breeze - By Jocelyn

Describe land breeze.

—At night, the land cools faster than the sea.

Air above the sea over the water is warmer, less dense and begins to rise.

 Low pressure is created over the water.

Cold and dense air over the land begins to move towards the sea to replace the warmer rising air.

The cool breeze from the land is called a land breeze.

Revision on Relief and Convectional Rain - By Tasmin Foo

TOPIC : RELIEF AND CONVECTIONAL RAINFALL

 

·      TEN YEAR SERIES 2014 PG15

·      Q5(A)

 

1.   The sun's energy reaches the earth. 

2.   The earth's surface is heated by the sun's energy. This in turn heats up the surrounding air.

3.   Air expands and rises.

4.   As the air rises, it cools. Air reaches dew point temperature and condensation occurs.

5.   Cumulonimbus clouds are often formed.

6.   When water droplets become large and heavy enough, they fall to the ground as rain.

Revision on Temperature - By Anna Wong

LESSON PLAN:

Revision plan (7 minutes):

·       Playing kahoot for max 5 minutes

Questions from the tys (6 minutes to try):

·       TYS 2016 page 13 question 4b (don’t have to draw anything)

Go through question (7 minutes):

Check TYS answers first then show my answer.

MY answer:

·       Temperatures are generally lower at higher latitudes, due to the distance the sun rays have to travel. The sun rays are shorter when a country is located closer to the equator, thus causing that country to experience higher temperatures.

·       For Singapore, we are located near the equator meaning we have a low latitude, and thus the sun rays take a shorter time to travel to Singapore and therefore we experience warm temperatures all year round. This kind of climate is called the equatorial climate.

·       For Beijing, they are located far from the equator and very near to the poles, allowing it to have a high latitude, hence the sun’s rays strikes the earth’s surface at a lower angle and take a longer time to reach Beijing, therefore, Beijing experiences cooler temperatures. This kind of climate is known as the cool temperate climate.

·       Therefore, we can say that due to the difference in latitudes of both countries, both countries experience different climates and are affected differently.
