**Students are you ready to learn about the weather, atmosphere and climate?**
 * Welcome WBMS Teachers and Students! **

**In this wiki, we will cover the following standard:**

**S6E4: Students will understand how the distribution of land and oceans affect climate and weather.** a. Demonstrate that land and water absorb and lose heat at different rates and explain the resulting effects on weather patterns. b. Relate unequal heating of land and water surfaces to form large global wind systems and weather events such as tornadoes and thunderstorms. c. Relate how moisture evaporating from the oceans affects the weather patterns and weather events such as hurricanes.
