Concept Statement: Show Concept Overview
4 Energy from the Sun heats Earth unevenly, causing air movements that result in changing weather patterns.
Over-All Rating: Moderate coverage of this concept.
Features that do not help student learning:
Coverage is limited with respect to the influence the ocean has on weather (Standard 4b). Text does not describe that at any point Earth's atmosphere exerts pressure equally in all directions (Standard 4e).

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. |
In-Depth |
|
| 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. |
