Unit 6 - Severe Weather

Big Idea:  Protecting the human interests of health, safety and resource management depends upon an understanding of natural hazards and human impact on Earth systems.
Learning Targets:

  • I can describe the Earth's principle sources of internal and external energy (e.g., radioactive decay, gravity, solar energy)
  • I can describe natural processes in which heat transfer in the Earth occurs by conduction, convection, and radiation
  • I can identify the main sources of energy to the climate system
  • I can describe the various conditions of formation associated with severe weather (thunderstorms, tornados, hurricanes, floods, waves, and drought)
  • I can describe the damage resulting from, and the social impact of thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods
  • I can describe severe weather and flood safety and mitigation
  • I can describe the seasonal variations in severe weather
  • I can describe conditions associated with frontal boundaries that result in severe weather (thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes)
  • I can describe how mountains, frontal wedging (including dry lines), convection, and convergence form clouds and precipitation
  • I can explain the process of adiabatic cooling and adiabatic temperature changes to the formation of clouds
