Students,
Today we explored the physical features of Europe in more depth. We explored three major rivers (Rhine, Thames, and Danube) we also looked at The Alps and discussed how some of the mountain ranges we've seen on our map activity were ultimately still part of the Alps (Pyrenees, Apennines, and the Carpathian)
In addition we discussed the climate of Europe, and how despite the fact that parts of Europe are in the Northern most parts of the mid latitude zone, there is still a very temperate / mild climate. This is in large part due to the Mid-Atlantic Drift. This is a current of warm water that originates by the Eastern US and travels North past the UK and the Scandinavian peninsula.
Documents: coming Soon
Looking Forward: Tomorrow we will be discussing more details of your ACT PLAN testing that will be taking place on Thursday. As well as examining an Ice Hotel in Northern Europe.
