Geog & SS10 Answers to Friday 5: Dec. 12

 Socials 10

1.  Who were the famous 5 and what did they achieve?

The famous five were a group of women committed to championing women's rights around voting, being in government and specifically got women added to the definition of "persons under the law".

2.  What is a branch plant?

A branch plant is a factory or industrial operation owned and operated by a foreign investor.  A branch company would be like a Starbucks or Wallmart.

3.  What three things did the Canadian government put in place to try to assimilate Indigenous people?

Residential Schools, Reserves & the Indian Act

4.  Of all the things that showed progress for Canadians's int he 1920's, which had the greatest impact?

Just need to back up your answer.

5.  What did the Statute of Westminster Achieve?

It gave all countries that were colonies of Britain independence in government, economic issues and foreign policy.  Officially forms the Commonwealth.

Geography 12

1.  What are isobars and relate these to pressure gradient.

Isobars measure areas of equal pressure on a map.  When isobars are closer together the pressure gradient is steeper and therefore it is windier.

2.  What are the 5 layers of the atmosphere from Earth to Space.

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere

3.  Low pressure cells move in which direction in the Northern Hemisphere?  Clockwise or counterclockwise.  What type of weather does a low pressure bring?

Low pressure cells move wind in a counterclockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere.  Low pressure cells bring poor weather and precipitation.

4.  As you go up in elevation, what happens to air pressure?

Air pressure goes down

5.  Explain the basic premise of air circulation as demonstrated by the tri-cell model.

Due to uneven heating of the Earth's surface and the rotation of the earth (coriolis effect) this tri-cell model shows how heat is redistributed.  The hadley cells move warm air towards the poles and vice versa.  This in turn accounts for the climactic zones and earth's general wind and pressure zones.

Bonus:  In the tri-cell model, what are the three cell names?

hadley, ferrel, polar

Geography 12 Dec 9-12

 This week in Geography we started talking about weather.  We talked atmospheric pressure, pressure gradient, High and Low pressure and how wind affects these and how they are displayed with an isobar map.  We learned about the different layers of the atmosphere and how these affect weather.  We touched on things like the jet stream, the coriolis affect and how these play in (I will provide a bit more on this next week).  We spent time talking about atmospheric circulation and how this works through the tri cell model.  Students completed an assignment on the layers in the atmosphere and are in the process of completing an assignment on the tri cell models of atmospheric circulation and putting this together with climate through climate graphs.

Here are a few videos to help you with your learning:

Socials 10: Answers to Friday 5, Dec. 5

 1.  What was the purpose and intent of the Citizens Committee of 1000?

The purpose of the CCof 1000 was to stop the strike and represent the cities business elite with the intent to show/influence public opinion and show that the strike was tied to revolutionary ideas around communism and thus make it okay to use force against the strikers in order to oppose and stop it.

2.  Provide one cause and one consequence of the Winnipeg General Strike

Causes:  poor working conditions, pay, formation of OBU, advancement of women's rights around work

Consequences:  two dead, many injured, strike leaders arrested, some deported, eventual change in workers rights, a strike, people sent back to work, people worrying about the spread of communism

3.  Define Canadian Autonomy

-gaining political independence from Britain

4.  Provide two examples we have talked about that forwarded Canadian autonomy.

-having own seat at negotiating table for the treaty of Versailles

-The Chanak Affair

•Halibut Treaty

5.  What was the first treaty that Canada signed that was environmental in focus, briefly describe what it was about.

Halibut treaty, it was to prevent over-fishing

Socials 10 - Week of December 1

 This week in Socials 10 we finished up the Winnipeg General Strike.  We learned about the Citizens Committee of 1000 and examined the short and long term consequences of the strike.

Students had time to finish up their Winnipeg General Strike assignment.  Due today:  Friday Dec. 5

Students also had time to finish up their Untouchables Assignment if they did not complete this last week. This was due Wednesday in our double block and could only be completed during class time.

Students continued working on part 3 and 4 of their issues projects.  This is the note taking phase and the outline.  

Today students worked on creating a thesis statement and writing up their outlines. What is a thesis statement? - The goal of a thesis statement is to let your reader know what your paper or essay is about (the central topic/idea) AND it will highlight and include your argument.  Why is a thesis statement needed?  It’s a guide to keep you focussed in your paper and it tells the reader what your paper is about.Here is the video we watched to help us with understanding how to write a good thesis statement.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFp1uGTXo4Q&t=4s

***You will have one more day to finish up part 3 & 4 (Monday).  Parts 3 & 4 are due on Tuesday.  We will write our rough drafts for our papers on the double block day next week - if you miss this expect to give up your lunch hour and after school to do this.   Homework this weekend might be to get a little closer to finishing up research etc...

Today we also finished up Canadian Autonomy.  Notes.  Today we talked about the King-Byng crisis, the Balfour report and the Statute of Westminster. (You should read this section in the text book)

We also talked a bit more about women in the 1920's.  We brainstormed what we already knew.  Watched this quick video on the vote:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdbG6EIHrbs 

Below is the assignment we did in class (this is due on Monday, I will do a HW check), the videos are below.  We will try to finish up the 1920's next week.  Expect a test on Friday or Monday Dec.  12/15.

Geog 12/SS 10 answers to Friday 5, Nov. 28

 SS 10

1. What is a union?

- an organization of workers who come together to negotiate with their employer for improved wages, benefits, and working conditions

2. Why were people striking in Winnipeg?  (what did they want?)

-better wages and working conditions

3. What was OBU and what was it’s purpose?

-One Big Union, it's purpose was to join together labour unions to increase the chance of getting change

4. Why were people suspicious of unions?

-because their ideals were sometimes linked to communism

5. Why was union membership on the rise in the 1900’s?

-because working conditions were poor and it felt like the employers had all the power

Bonus:  what is collective bargaining?

-negotiation of wages and other conditions of employment by an organized body of employees/labour union

Geog 12

1. Briefly describe how interplate volcanism occurs.

volcanic activity that occurs within tectonic plates, away from their boundaries, and is most commonly caused by hot spots/mantle plumes

2. Explain why Yellowstone is a more rare form of interplate volcanism.

because it is in the middle of continental crust which is thicker than oceanic crust

3. Where do the most explosive volcanoes form?  

at subduction zones

4. Provide a positive and a negative of living near a volcano.

Pos:

-tourist attraction, brings jobs and revenue

-area is rich in minerals creating fertile soil and good mining opportunities

-hydrothermal power

Neg:

-destruction of area is a possibility

-living under stress due to volcanic activity

-depending on if dormant or active, could cause death

5.  Define pyroclastic flow.

-a fast moving cloud of ash, gas, pumice and rock (tephra) that can be extremely deadly as it rushes down the side of a volcano due to an eruption, moving up to 700km/hr.  Acts like an avalanche.
