Expectations

SO4.a
Develop a model to explain the effects of tilt of the earth, solar energy inputs, and heat capacity of land and oceans on the resulting patterns of weather and climate.
SO4.b
Ask questions to investigate and provide explanations about the influence of the Coriolis Effect on winds, ocean currents, and climate.
SO4.c
Analyze and interpret data to develop models for global patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation. (Clarification statement: Include the role of deep water currents in oceanic circulation.)
SO4.d
Construct an explanation for variations in global weather patterns such as El Nino, hurricanes, and monsoons and design solutions to minimize the impact of these systems on human populations
SO4.e
Use mathematics and computational thinking to explain how climate change influences the ocean. (Clarification statement: Emphasis is on sea level rise and ocean acidification.)
