In this lesson, students will use the Live Access Server to access and use historical satellite data for the Costa Rican (Central American) region. Students will examine monthly precipitation averages over three years to look for seasonal patterns. Detailed Procedure and Materials, Vocabulary linked to an On-line glossary, and Teacher Notes are provided.

explains
both
the

principle
that
tends
to
keep
the

plane
and
the
effects
of
the
external
forces
that
create
precession.
And
all
without
