Tropical Cyclones grade 12 notes

Lesson plan Subject : Geography Grade: 12 Du ration: 2 hours Number of learners: 55 2. Learning intentions of the lesson Knowledge: For learners to gain specific knowledge on the impacts of tropical cyclones. Skills: Learners will gain communication skills during the lesson as this will be part of the discussion and they will be able to identify when tropical cyclones are approaching. Values: At the end of this lesson, learners will be able to identify the impacts of tropical c...

The energy supplying a mid latitude (extratropical) cyclone can come from both the potential energy contained in air mass temperature contrasts and oceanic fluxes of heat (sensible and latent), while tropical cyclones are powered only by ocean heat fluxes - primarily latent heat. - True East Coast cyclonic storms are efficient precipitation producers because of proximity to the warm Atlantic ocean, where ocean moisture fluxes are very high. - True Compared to hurricanes, extratropical cycl...

Geog 1900: Chapter 7 - Atmosphere and Oceanic Circulation + Interactions Qs & As Aleutian Low The subpolar low-pressure area that is centered near the Aleutian Islands on charts that show mean sea-level pressure. - Intensity of this low is strongest in the winter and almost completely dissipates in the summer. - Like most semipermanent cells, a result of the presence of the Eurasian and North American continents preventing a continuous belt of low pressure from developing in the Norther...
