This week, we have been learning about wind and how it works. We had to make an infographic about wind. An infographic is something you make that can involve, pictures, diagrams, symbols, flow charts, numbers and letters to explain something in a fun way.
Wind is air. Hot air and cold air actually. So, when you get hot air, it'll come down for awhile and then rise again, because hot air is less dense than cold air. When the hot air rises it empties a space for the cold air to come. And the cold air will stay because it is more dense. This forms a cycle and makes wind. Then you get sea breezes and land breezes. A sea breeze is: The land will heat up more easily than the sea, so the air will get hot on the land, the the hot air rises. That makes a space for the air off of the sea, that is a sea breeze. It's like a cooling fan on a hot day at the beach. A land breeze is the complete opposite. Land breeze will happen at night. So, the land cools faster than the sea, so when the hot air rises from the sea, the cold air from the land will replace it. That's my understanding of wind.
WALT: Think critically when looking at the information in the texts.
Here is my infographic, for a bit I didn't know what to do, so it's not exactly perfect. (You may have to zoom in).
