Climate ACTIVITY
For your group’s assigned continent1. Select 2 climate regions2. Identify the factors that determine
the climate for the 2 climate regions
Sea-Level Activity
Sea-level Activity Directions1. As a group study the maps, choose several problems
to address, discuss, make decisions and record reasoning.
2. Select a group member to present to class
ABATEMENT: fix the problem or make it less of a problem
ACCOMMODATION: learn to live with the problem and not try to change it
PREVENTION: work to prevent the problem from happening.
