Good spot Grace.

Louis

11:36

oh right

Jazmin

11:36

most of the wind on the chie side is cold leaving it to be a cold breeze witch is somtimes very cold

Mr Fairhurst

11:38

It's important to remember even though it is colder on the west than the east it still isn't cold. It's just that the west and in particular the north west and central areas are just very hot by comparison

Eva Wright

11:38

The arrows what are pointing up lead to north america

Josh

11:38

Colder air and sea on the West coat

Mr Fairhurst

11:38

We are going to look at one final map before we discuss home learning.

Mr Fairhurst

11:40

What does this map tell us?

Eva Wright

Hollie

the ocean

Isla

11:40

Ok sir

Jazmin

11:40

Mr Fairhurst

11:41

Precipitation basically means rainfall.

11:42

This map doesn't show temperature. The colours link to the key and amount of rainfall.

Hollie

11:42

Alex

Amelia Ashton

Jazmin

11:42

Eva Wright

11:42

Or maybe it shows us how much it rains in South America

Isla

11:43

Does the map mean like which places are most likely to have the most rainfalls

Mr Fairhurst

11:43

Good, it tells us how much rainfall there is on average over the year in South America.

George

11:43

it rains the most in the rainforest

Mr Fairhurst

11:43

You might notice that although the west. e.g. Chile is cooler it actually rains less there.

11:44

How could you describe the weather in the rainforest?

Hollie

11:44

dose it mean there is more rain in onepart of chie than the olthres

Mr Fairhurst

11:44

Yes, exactly.

Alex

11:44

its wet, hot

Jazmin

11:45

it rains the most in the rain forest witch is located in the centure of south america

Mr Fairhurst

11:45

Yes, it is hot and humid (which means there is a lot of water vapour in the air)

George

11:45

hot weather but it rains alot

Luke

11:46

warm and wet

Eva Wright

11:47

just because it is hot there doesn’t mean that it rains

Mr Fairhurst

11:47

The other map showed that it rains. But yes you're right, it can be hot and wet or hot and dry.

Isla

11:47

Mr Fairhurst

11:48

OK, one quick trivia question. Does anyone know where Argentina's name comes from?
