Students review an animation of monthly average wind speed at 10 meters above the ocean surface for our global ocean to analyze the relationship between winds and ocean surface currents.
Students review a visualization showing a global view of the top-of-atmosphere longwave radiation from January 26 and 27, 2012. They review the supporting text and analyze the data in the visualization to answer questions.
Students will synthesize information from maps that show population, concentrations of PM2.5, and PM2.5-attributable mortality across the globe in order to draw conclusions about the relationship between particulate pollution and human health.
Students observe how air quality changes over time, for a selected location, using data from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
By investigating the data presented in a model that displays extreme summer air temperatures, students explain energy transfer in the Earth system and consider the impact of excessive heat on local communities.
Learn about volcanic ash and watch a visualization of the Calbuco volcano to see how ash travels around the world.
Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.
Students observe the map image, individually, looking for changes in surface air temperatures (using data displayed, unit of measure, range of values, etc.) and noticeable patterns.
Students review different maps of wind trajectories to determine to origins of mud-laden rain in the Pacific Northwest.
