Ratings for Standards - Houghton Mifflin:
| 4 Energy from the Sun heats Earth unevenly, causing air movements that result in changing weather patterns. |
Moderate |
|
| 4a Students know uneven heating of Earth causes air movements (convection currents). |
Limited |
|
| 4b Students know the influence that the ocean has on the weather and the role that the water cycle plays in weather patterns. |
Limited |
|
| 4c Students know the causes and effects of different types of severe weather. |
Moderate |
|
| 4d Students know how to use weather maps and data to predict local weather and know that weather forecasts depend on many variables. |
Moderate |
|
| 4e Students know that the Earth's atmosphere exerts a pressure that decreases with distance above Earth's surface and that at any point it exerts this pressure equally in all directions. |
