1. Study the figure below: The sailing ships route.
Describe where and explain why sailing ships experienced the highest (wind) speeds?
2. From the figure: The sailing ships route (map above),
Describe the 2 areas where they experienced decreased (wind) speeds and explain why.
3. Study the figure below: The approximate plane flight routes.
a) Explain why route A is usually used when flying from America to Asia.
b) Explain why route B is usually used when flying from Asia to America
4. Study Resource Booklet Figure D1: Wind speed and wind turbine power output.
a) What is the minimum wind speed necessary for a wind turbine to produce electricity?
b) Specify in which wind conditions a wind turbine can produce the greatest power output.
c) Why is no electricity produced at very high wind speeds?
5. Study Resource Booklet Figure D2: Distribution of annual mean wind speed at 80 m above ground level.
Explain why the mean wind speed in the area indicated on the map by arrow A is significantly higher than in the surrounding regions.
6. Study Resource Booklet Figures D2: Distribution of annual mean wind speed at 80 m above ground level and D3: A photo of a wind farm.
The area indicated on the map by arrow B has one of the highest mean wind speed in Africa.
Give 3 reasons why the area is not used for the location of wind farms.
7. Study Resource Booklet Figure D2: Distribution of annual mean wind speed at 80 m above ground level.
Explain why Greenland, which is not known for hurricanes, hosts some of the strongest winds on the planet, called tip jets.
