EEn.2.5 Understand the structure of and processes within our atmosphere.
EEn.2.5.1 Summarize the structure and composition of our atmosphere.
EEn.2.5.2 Explain the formation of typical air masses and the weather systems that result from air mass interactions.
EEn.2.5.3 Explain how cyclonic storms form based on the interaction of air masses.
EEn.2.5.4 Predict the weather using available weather maps and data (including surface, upper atmospheric winds, and satellite imagery).
EEn.2.5.5 Explain how human activities affect air quality.
EEn.2.5.1 Summarize information from charts and graphs regarding layers of the atmosphere, temperature, chemical composition, and interaction with radiant energy.
EEn.2.5.2 • Explain how air masses move (pressure differentials). • Explain how interactions of air masses form frontal boundaries, clouds, and affect wind patterns. Note: Also address precautions for severe cyclonic storms to preserve life and property.
EEn.2.5.3 • Explain factors that affect air density and understand their influence on winds, air masses, fronts and storm systems. • Use data to substantiate explanations and provide evidence of various air mass interactions. Note: Also address precautions for severe cyclonic storms to preserve life and property.
EEn.2.5.4 • Observe, analyze and predict weather using technological resources. • Interpret and analyze weather maps and relative humidity charts. • Explain the importance of water vapor and its influence on weather (clouds, relative humidity, dew point, precipitation). Note: Use predictions to develop plans for safety precautions related to severe weather events.
EEn.2.5.5 • Explain how acid rain is formed and how human activities can alter the pH of rain. • Infer other human activities that impact the quality of atmospheric composition. (e.g. aerosols, chlorofluorocarbons, burning, industrial byproducts, over farming, etc.) • Exemplify methods to mitigate human impacts on the atmosphere.
