Numerical scales use ratios to show how distance on the map corresponds to distance in real life. For example, a scale of 1: 6 750 000 indicates that 1 cm on the map equals 6 750 000 centimetres (67.5 km) in real life.

The course of the river Nile, at almost 6 700 km, is one of the longest in the world. Crossing ten African countries until it flows out into the Mediterranean sea, it brings together the fabulous history of the world of pharaohs and pyramids with the magnificent nature of deepest Africa with its gorillas, lions, giraffes and elephants.

The periodic floods of the plains regulated the harvests on its banks and supported a large population. That is where the ancient Egyptian civilisation began.

Basing her work on a class project, the youngster created a unique map of the city called the Mapa do Medo (Map of Fear). To accomplish this project she asked for help using social media. She took photographs of the areas that she wanted to focus on and collected testimonies from women of all ages who had felt fear in different parts of the city because of having been harassed, intimidated or sexually assaulted.

In order to regulate the flooding and drying out of the Nile, and also to produce electrical power, the enormous Aswan dam was built in southern Egypt, spanning 3 600 m in length and 111 m in height.

This is how the world’s largest artificial lake, called Nasser in honour of the ruler who ordered it to be built, was created. It is more than 500 km in length and covers an area of 6 000 km2 with water, and it meant the eviction of hundreds of thousands of people and more than twenty large monuments from the ancient Egyptian civilisation.

One of the temples that had to be moved because of the Aswan Dam, the temple of Debod, has been in Madrid since 1968. It was donated by the Egyptian people in thanks for Spain’s help with saving the flooded sites.

Building the great Aswan Dam had serious consequences for flora and fauna, as well as for the economy.

There have been numerous environmental consequences: excessive sedimentation upriver, erosion downriver, disappearance of species that used to migrate along the river, destruction and salinisation of the Nile delta (the seawater penetrates the land), reduced productivity in fisheries, emigration of marine animals because of the salinity barrier being removed, a rise in the water levels of nearby lowlands, pollution of the river caused by fertilisers, herbicides and pesticides, etc.

Another of the negative consequences for the population has been an increased risk to health, because the agricultural irrigation canals and the edges of the Nasser lake are the ideal habitat for animals that carry diseases, such as malaria mosquitoes and snails that spread parasites. anayaeducacion.es Go to the SDG 7 resource.

Thinking techniques Logic Wheel This thinking technique will help you to establish phases when analysing specific content that you have to study.

Identify What is it? What is it like? Are there different types?

By following a logical sequence (the logic wheel), and by asking yourself a series of questions in each phase, you can:

1

• Identify content by asking yourself: What is it? What is it like?

Are there different types?

• Compare the content by formulating questions such as: In what way is it similar to ...? In what way is it different from ...?

• Establish cause-effect relationships by asking yourself questions such as: Why? What impact does it have ...?

• Argue, assess and ask yourself questions such as: What conclusions can be drawn after the analysis? What can be assessed or scored about it?

Doing a data dump of these questions into a graphic organiser will help you.

The climate and bioclimatic zones Reading and listening

Anna Mani Anna Mani dedicated her life to the study of Physics and Meteorology.

She was born in Travancore, India, in 1918. She got a degree in Physics and spent some years studying the properties of gems like rubies or diamonds. Later, she moved to London, where she was awarded a scholarship in the Imperial College. Her research focused on the manufacturing and use of the different weather measuring instruments, such as the anemometer, which measures the speed of the wind, the pluviometer or rain gauge, which measures the amount of rainfall, or the barometer, which measures atmospheric pressure, among others.

When she returned to her country, she was appointed deputy general manager of the India Meteorological Department and started to work on the design and standardising of weather instruments.

Although she resigned from her position in the Meteorological Department in 1976, she continued collaborating with the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, where a unit was created to research solar and wind power. She studied the behaviour of gases such as ozone.

For a better understanding of climates and bio climates on Earth, you will learn about:

• The atmosphere and its changes.

• The elements of climate and the factors that affect it.

• Climates and climate zones. Vegetation and biosphere.

• The Earth’s bioclimates.

1 Define the word meteorology.

2 Answer the questions. a) What did Anna Mani study at university? b) What are the names of the three institutions where Anna developed her career? c) Apart from ozone, do you know the name of any other gases that are present in the atmosphere?

Speaking

3 What are the names of the layers of the atmosphere? With a partner, talk about in which layer you think the following would happen:

• weather phenomena • protection from UV radiation • protection from meteorites • the northern lights 4 Do you know what the greenhouse effect is?

In small groups, look for information and, using a diagram, talk about the causes and possible consequences caused by the greenhouse effect.

Writing

5 Because of the hole in the ozone layer, environmental balance is at risk. Find out about the evolution of the hole since it was first discovered and its current situation.

6 Then based on that information and the hazards caused by the greenhouse effect, write an essay for your local government so they consider including climate change in their agenda.

1 THE ATMOSPHERE

The air and its gases

AND HOW IT CHANGES ã 1.1 The atmosphere, an essential layer The atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the Earth that is joined to it by the force of gravity. It is made up of air, which contains water vapour and a mixture of gases (including nitrogen, oxygen, ozone and carbon dioxide).

The atmosphere is very important because it performs four functions that make life possible on our planet: it contains gases that are essential for living beings such as oxygen; it filters harmful solar radiation, like ultraviolet rays; it helps regulate the temperature on the planet; and it protects the Earth from the impact of meteorites.

ã 1.2 The layers of the atmosphere The atmosphere goes from the surface of the Earth up to approximately 10 000 km high.

This space is divided into five layers with different temperatures and characteristics. From the Earth’s surface outwards these layers are: the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere, the ionosphere and the exosphere. The troposphere is in the lowest layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. It extends from the surface of the Earth to an altitude of 12 km. Meteorological and climatic phenomena happen in the troposphere.

Nitrogen Oxygen Others (Carbon dioxide, water vapour, other gases)

ã 1.3 Atmospheric phenomena. Weather and climate

The atmosphere is constantly changing, which produces variations in the atmospheric weather and creates climates.

➜ Atmospheric weather is the state of the atmosphere over one place at a certain time. For example, the weather in Rome at 12 noon on October 31st of this year is cool and rainy. The weather changes, so the values obtained at 12 noon can be different from the values at 7 pm. This is because in the troposphere there are large air masses. They are pushed by the winds and move continuously over the surface of the Earth.

Meteorology is the science that studies the weather and its changes. To do so, it measures the temperature, pressure and humidity of the air masses.

➜ Climate is the average state of the atmosphere over one place. It is determined by observing the succession of types of weather for at least thirty years. The conclusion determines that the climate in Rome is hot and dry in summer. Therefore, the climate is more stable than the weather.

Climatology is the science that studies climate and its varieties.

It measures and records the average temperature and the precipitation levels of a place throughout the year.

• Calculate the thickness of each of the layers of the atmosphere.

• Which is the coldest layer? And the hottest?

• Which layer protects Earth from meteorites? And from harmful solar radiation?

• In which layer do the northern lights appear?

2 ELEMENTS OF CLIMATE (I). TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION

ã 2.1 Elements of climate Elements of climate are components of the atmosphere that can be measured. The main elements are temperature, precipitation, atmospheric pressure and wind. They can all vary due to factors like latitude, altitude and distance from the sea, the unchanging characteristics that have a permanent influence on the climate.

ã 2.2 Temperature and its factors Temperature is the amount of heat in the air. It is measured with a thermometer and is expressed in degrees Celsius (°C). The factors that influence temperature are:

➜ Latitude. Temperature decreases from the Equator to the poles.

In hot areas, the Sun’s rays are more direct.

This means that the heat is spread over a smaller surface area and it heats up more.

Heat also encourages precipitation.

This is because the surface of the Earth is curved and the rays from the Sun hit the Earth at the poles at a very oblique angle.

➜ Altitude. Temperature decreases by about 0.6 °C for every 100 metres of altitude increased because the air, which is less dense, stores less heat.

➜ Distance from the sea. Temperature is milder on the coast and more severe inland, because the sea warms up and cools down more slowly than the land.

On Earth, differences in temperature allow us to identify various thermal zones that are related to latitude: one hot, two temperate and two cold.

ã 2.3 Precipitation and its factors

Skills progress

Precipitation is the water that falls on the Earth’s surface from the clouds, in liquid form (rain) or solid form (snow and hail). It is measured with a rain gauge or pluviometer, and is expressed in millimetres (mm) or in litres per square metre (L/m2).

Organising information

The factors that influence precipitation are:

➜ Latitude. There is more precipitation at the equator and less precipitation in tropical, temperate and polar areas. Heat makes the air to rise which results in the condensation of the water vapour.

➜ Altitude and relief. Precipitation increases with altitude, because

1 Create a table comparing the characteristics of temperature and precipitation.

It should contain the following: definition, instrument used to measure it, unit of measurement, factors, distribution on Earth.

Analysing physical phenomena

cold temperatures favour condensation in the air. Also, when the air meets an obstacle such as a mountain, it is forced to rise and so it cools down.

2 Is rain the same as precipitation?

➜ Distance from the sea. There is more precipitation near the coast

because the sea is a constant source of moisture.

On Earth, annual rainfall varies from one region to the next. These differences allow us to identify areas with different levels of precipitation, ranging from very abundant to very scarce precipitation.

and its factors

Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air column on a place. It is measured with a barometer, and is expressed in millibars (mb).

Average or normal pressure, measured at sea level, is 1 013.5 mb. Areas with higher than average pressure are anticyclones, and they are marked on weather maps with an A. And areas with lower pressure are depressions, and they are marked with a B. The factors that explain these differences in pressure are:

➜ Altitude.

Pressure decreases with altitude, because as you go higher, the layer of air over a place becomes thinner.

➜ Air temperature. Warm air is light and not very dense. so it tends to rise, producing low pressure that causes precipitation. Cold air is denser and heavier, so it tends to fall, producing high pressure or an anticyclone that causes stable weather.

On Earth there are high and low pressure areas.

At the Equator there is permanent low pressure; in the tropics and at the poles, there is permanent high pressure and in temperate areas, high and low pressures alternate.

ã 3.2 Wind and its factors

Skills progress

Wind is air that moves horizontally. Its speed is measured with an anemometer, either in kilometres per hour (km/h) or in metres per second (m/s). Its direction is determined by using a weather vane, which indicates the cardinal point where it comes from.

Building vocabulary

The factor that causes wind is a difference in air pressure. Wind always blows from high to low pressure. Its speed is greater when the difference in pressure is larger.

2 Create a table comparing the characteristics of

On Earth there are constant winds that carry hot air towards cold areas and viceversa, keeping the Earth's temperature in balance. The most important ones are the trade winds, west winds and polar winds. In addition, there are seasonal winds, such as the monsoons of Southeast Asia; and daily winds, such as sea and mountain breezes.

• How can we identify anticyclones and cyclones?

• What direction does the wind blow in an anticyclone?

• And in a cyclone, what direction does the wind blow?

• What is the value of the isobar closest to the centre of the main Atlantic anticyclone?

• Which fronts appear? What type of weather do they cause?

4 CLIMATES, VEGETATION

The biosphere

AND BIOCLIMATES

ã 4.1 Climate and climate zones

Troposphere

The combination of elements and climate factors that we have just studied gives rise to different climate zones on Earth.

Hydrosphere

Biosphere

These zones are the tropical or hot zone, where the equatorial and tropical climates are found; two temperate zones, north and south, where the Mediterranean, oceanic and continental climates are found; and two polar zones, north and south, with polar climates.

Lithosphere

There are also azonal climates, which means that they can be found in several climate zones, such as deserts and mountains.

The biosphere is usually considered one of the four layers that make up the Earth. It is the combination of all the living organisms on the planet and the environment in which they live.

ã 4.2 Vegetation and the biosphere

All the components of the biosphere are interrelated. This means that if something changes in one of them, it affects the others.

Vegetation is the collection of plant species in a territory. It is found in the layer where living organisms live, which is called the biosphere (from the Greek terms bios, which means “life”; and sphera, which means “globe or sphere”).

The biosphere extends from an altitude of 50 km in the atmosphere to the open oceanic trenches at the bottom of the oceans, which can be 8 000 metres deep.

The biosphere contains an enormously diverse amount of plant and animal species (biodiversity). There are more than two million.

Vegetation groups together in vegetal formations, or sets of plants with a similar size and appearance. The main types are forests, scrublands and grasslands:

➜ Forests are made up of trees: plants that have a trunk with branches and which are taller than eight metres.

➜ Scrublands are made up of plants that have no trunk. The branches grow directly from the ground.

➜ Grasslands are made up of grasses.

On Earth, the distribution of vegetation is determined by many factors like relief, the composition of soil and, above all, the climate, because plants are adapted to the moisture, light conditions, temperature and wind conditions in each area of the Earth.

ã 4.3 The Earth’s bioclimates The Earth's climate and vegetation are very closely related. Bioclimates are the result of the combination of climate and vegetation.

The distribution of bioclimates on Earth generally coincides with the climate zones. Hence, three large bioclimates are defined. They correspond to the tropical, temperate and polar zones.

PROTAGONISTS Basic information Name: Felisa Martín Bravo Time period: 1898-1979 Nationality: Spanish Occupation: Doctor of Physics and meteorologist

I was born in Donostia (San Sebastian) in 1898. I am a fortunate woman, I was able to study, first in the city where I was born, later at the Central University of Madrid, where I graduated in Physical Sciences in 1922, and later overseas. As soon as I finished my studies I concentrated on research and managed to be the first female doctor of Physics

NOW Laura F. Gibellini Basic information Name: Laura F. Gibellini Place and date of birth: Madrid, 1978 Occupation: artist

Felisa Martín Bravo turned a scientific eye to the atmosphere.

Her work made it possible to make records, predictions and climatic studies. Laura Fernández Gibellini is a multidisciplinary artist, doctor of Fine Arts and university lecturer who studies atmospheric conditions from a different point of view. She works to make the invisible visible. In her works she is concerned with recreating the changes that light brings to different places, she picks up the colours of different landscapes and she captures the poetry of the atmosphere.

in our country. Afterwards I did teaching tasks, both here and in the United States. At the end of my time in Cambridge in 1933 where I broadened my studies, I joined the National Meteorological Service in Madrid, where I had already worked as an assistant, being the first woman ever admitted to this organisation. Shortly after the Spanish Civil War broke out (1936), and the office moved to Valencia along with the Government, but I didn’t want to leave the city and they dismissed me. The war ended in 1939 and I had to go through a clearance process, but I managed to be readmitted.

at the Meteorological Service and perhaps, because of the difficulties I had with being a woman, I dropped this aspect of science. Nonetheless, I achieved some more success, when in 1973 I became the first and, at the moment, the only female president of the Spanish Meteorological Association.

When I was young I took part in scientific research, but with the war, my jobs as a teacher, my work

almost six years, she focused her artistic attentions on everything that changes in nature. As a result, the air, water, the weather and the atmospheric conditions of the places she analyses are the elusive protagonists of her works.

One of the works in which these concerns are seen is the installation called Atmospheres and Interruptions. This project was created during her time at the Spanish Royal Academy in Rome in the 2016-2017 academic year. In

s applying skill Crazy weater You often hear that the weather “is crazy”. Obviously this is not the case; what does happen is that it varies a great deal compared to what we consider normal, or rather, compared to the typical climatic conditions for each time of year. It is definitely the case that these changes are increasingly common, and almost all conversations involve talk of “climate change” as the cause for unseasonable snow, heat waves, droughts or floods.

Also, as the saying goes in Spanish, it almost “never rains to everybody’s taste”. “Good weather” is subjective: what is good for skiing is not good for farming or going to the beach. With everyone paying attention to it, opinions are very diverse, although some are more informed than others.

1. In my town, summers are cool.

2. It hasn’t stopped raining for days.

3. In the street people are wearing coats and scarves.

4. As the saying goes: “in April it doesn’t rain, it pours”.

5. Last summer it never stopped raining.

6. At school, the heating is turned on in October.

3 If we use a thermometer to check the temperature in different parts of a house it gives different readings.

On the side where the sun hits, next to the window it shows 50° and, outside, 43°. On the shady side, next to the window it shows 30° and, outside, 32°.

Which do you think is the right place to get temperature information? a) Inside in the sun. b) Outside in the sun. c) Inside in the shade. d) Outside in the shade.

4 Look at the relationship between the first map on the left and the first on the right, and say which would be the correct links between the maps that are shown below. a) 1-A, 2-B, 3-C

c) 1-B, 2-C, 3-A

b) 1-C, 2-B, 3-A

5 Using the average temperature and amount of precipitation for a place for each month, you can create a climograph, which shows the climate characteristics for the place you are studying. A climograph is almost a “photograph” of a climate.

The difference between the maximum annual temperature and the minimum is called the annual temperature variation, and it is a very important feature.

Close to the sea it is lower compared inland on the continents, because the sea moderates temperatures. Altitude also affects it, because the temperature drops as you climb and it usually rains more too.

The climographs above show different places in Spain. According to the above information, classify them as: high mountain, near the sea or centre of the Peninsula.

6 Look at the climograph and say to which of the places the climate shown is most similar.
