The Ocean and the Weather.

A: List the major ideas, concepts or key points- point by point

The sea is as important as the atmosphere in controlling the planters weather.
The disastrous El Nio of the past year in- creased public awareness that many unusual events
all over the globe.
Some of the most familiar weather systems occur at middle latitudes, although the driving
forces behind this activity are oceans far away.
Storms, the warm air rises up and over the incursion of cold, denser air.
Sometimes the link between oceans and storms can be more explosive. For exam- ple,
outpourings of frigid Arctic air frequently sweep down across.
Bombs develop extremely quickly, tax- ing the ability of weather forecasters and often
causing death and destruction.
The storms have central pressures that are as low as many hurricanes, sometimes as little as
960 millibars.
The ocean also generates intense storms at lower latitudes, in or around certain tropical
regions.
Ocean and near northern Australia, they are known as cyclones.
The temperature at the surface of the sea now becomes the critical factor.
The exceptional warmth of the tropical ocean boosts the amount of evaporation.
10 percent of them intensify into full-fledged hurricanes.
As springtime arrives in the Northern Hemisphere, the trade winds lose strength


B: Summarize the AUTHORs main point or idea- at LEAST 1-2 paragraphs
Planet causes the suns rays to spread out over a greater area. Solar heating at high latitudes is
reduced even further in winter, when the axis of the planet tilts away from the sun. The ocean
and the atmosphere work together like a planetary thermostat, sharing nearly equally the task of
exporting heat from equatorial regions toward the poles. The warm, moist air created in this way
rises because it is less dense than the surrounding atmosphere. If the earth did not rotate, this
heated air would travel directly toward the poles. The ocean also generates intense storms at
lower latitudes, in or around certain tropical regions. The temperature at the surface of the sea
now becomes the critical factor. The exceptional warmth of the tropical ocean boosts the amount
of evaporation. The rotating storm sustains itself by picking up as much energy from the surface
of the ocean as it releases in its many thunderous clouds. But that equilibrium does not last
forever.

C: Write a reaction paragraph to the article stating your own thoughts on the topic, using
specific citations from the article to support your views

It didnt have much of a effect on me. I know water is important, almost all the planet
Earth is made up of water, it was obvious that it had to be that important. This article is telling us


how much we depend on it, and how much it helps us on our daily life, and thats true so I
wasnt surprise. With all the chemicals that we are adding to our products its hard to keep the
sea from reaching some of it. It is affecting it, its getting warmer and we have to do something,
this also contributes global warming. The sea is as important as the atmosphere in controlling the
planets weather. Because if the water is too hot it would get reflected. Something should be
done.



What?

Water is very important, and in this article it
shows and demonstrate why my point was
correct. We need to in order to measure and
know the changes in the climate. It also
contributes to the global warming changes.
The ocean it big and whatever we do it also
affect us.
Say who?

Peter J. Webster and Judith A. Curry

What if?

The water of the sea didnt show us anything.
IF we couldnt tell what the sea is showing
and explaining we would be in a very big
problem. The sea is trying to let us know
whats happening in the earn and the
temperature.
What does it remains you of?

The article about water, in this one too there
are talking about the water. How much its
useful to us. And how much we depend on it.
