The booklet covers the three first topics from the new AQA specification: General atmospheric circulation model; pressure belts and surface winds; global distribution of tropical storms; causes of tropical storms, the structure of a tropical storm and how climate change might affect the distribution, frequency and intensity of tropical storms. It is prepared for students' independent work. It has many elements that are needed to be practiced by GCSE students, i.e.: reading comprehension, visual stimulus, practical element, exam questions and self motivation. The booklet is self sufficient and everything is explained. Starters, , aims, targets, activities, mini plenaries and plenaries are included.
