Upcoming Quiz

After DSTP's are finished (Tuesday, March 16th) we will resume full schedule. There will be a quiz on Pressure Sytems and Ocean Currents on Thursday, March 18th. The quiz will not include Cold/Warm Fronts. Begin studying. Use sites to the left and ask questions!!!

Warm and Cold Fronts

Enjoy this web site (Cold and warm Fronts on left). It gives a great visual of each basic front. You can also see another version of this in Earth Visualization- Chapter 20.

Ocean Currents

Look at the sites to the left. "Ocean Bouys" is the NOAA site with all the bouy data and if you go to "Earth Visualizations" Chapter 24 you can see the ones used in class.

Global Winds/Coriolis Effect

Check out the links to the left to enrich your understanding on these topics discussed in class. You will be having a quiz next week, so start studying now.
