Activities:

  1. Divide into groups of 4.

  3. Take turns teaching each question to the others. Fill in your answers as you learn the material. Make sure you really learn the material from the "teacher.".

Question:

1). What is the Coriolis Effect and what does it have to do with atmospheric circulation and ocean currents? Draw diagrams of its effects. A map is included below, if you need it.
