Wigmore High School Summer Learning 2020

Subject: Geography Year group: 7Group/Set/Class: XYZ Teacher: Mrs McLoughlin and Mr Jones

Date work set: 29th June Date work to be completed by: 13th July

Topic: Weather and Climate

Learning outcomes: To identify types of rainfall – To understand the features of a tropical storm.

Instructions:

1. Watch the following clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i36U3LpJjzU

Then make a poster about the 3 types of rainfall. Copy the following diagrams and add labels to explain what is happening. Your

poster can be done on a computer or hand drawn.

Clouds and wind combine to form some of the earth’s most extreme weather – Tropical storms.

Tropical storms have different names depending on where they are formed.

Hurricanes – Atlantic Ocean

Cyclones – India Ocean

Typhoons – Pacific Ocean

Tropical storms develop where the sea temperature is higher than 27⁰C.

As you know form your rainfall poster warm, warm moist air rises and

condensation occurs.

The rising air creates low pressure which causes surface winds.

The earth’s rotation causes the winds to spin and the storm gets stronger.

Task 2: Follow the instructions to create a pop up tropical storm to show the
