This
activity
guide
explores
the
potential
for
global
climate
change
to
increase
the
frequency
and
intensity
of
hurricanes
and
storm
surges,
and
the
impacts
that
could
result.
Designed
to
teach
through
scientific
inquiry,
the
activity
seeks
to
stimulate
thought
about
the
long-term
impact
of
a
warmer
planet.
The
activity
responds

This
chapter
describes
the
technique
of
preparing
latitude-longitude
based
data
so
that
it
can
be
imported
into
a
geographic
information
system
(GIS).
It
describes
the
steps
to
create
a
map
to
display
data
and
guides
users
through
some
basic
geographic
analyses.
The
focus
of
the
chapter?s
case
study
is
earthquake

This
lesson
plan
uses
NASA
satellite
data
to
contrast
amounts
of
cloud
coverage
over
different
climate
regions
in
Africa.
It
introduces
the
circulation
pattern
of
Hadley
Cells
and
the
band
of
convergence
and
convection
called
the
Intertropical
Convergence
Zone
(ITCZ).
The
lesson
also
discusses
how
frequent
cloud
cover
and
precipitation
occur
along
the
ITCZ
and
how
climate
affects
the
people
