General pattern of weather in a certain area over a long period of time
Climate
Condition of the atmosphere at a specific place and time
Weather
What happen when sun strike vertically in places near the equator
•Increase of temperature
•warm climate
What happen to the places that are not vertically hit by the sun rays?
•Decrease in Temperature
•cold climate
As the latitude increases, the smaller the angle of the sun's raysrays strike the surface. Therefore when the area is farther from the equator will experience coldclimate and those near the equator will experience warmclimate
The air temperature decreases as the altitude is faraway
Every 1000m, there is a drop of 6.50°C at higher elevation , thus there is less air
•the air molecules are farther apart , thus making the air less dense
•lighter air cannot absorb much heat, making the air temperature lower
Places near the bodies of water will likely to experience moderate climate
•since it regulate temperature
•soil absorb heatsfaster than water, thus making airtemperature above sea level is lower than above the grounds
•warm air moves out from land to sea , slowingdown the rise of airtemperature
•soils cools down faster than water, so the air temperature above the ground is lower than above sea levels
•warm air flows from sea to land , so the drop in air temperature above ground is moderate
What happen when places live near the bodies of ocean
Will experience moderate climate
Soils heatsfaster than water in day time and coolsdown faster than water in evening time
Is another factor that affect the climate of a certain place
Topography
Mountain is one of the topographic feature
The area in which in which the wind blows is called
Windward side
Mountain areas greatly affect the amount of precipitation in a certain region
•the wind is blocked by the mountain , forcing it to move upward
•the water vapor condense and forms cloud
•this will result in precipitation on the Windward side
•the air moves down toward the opposite region called Leewardside
•the cold air mass starts to absorb heat and becomes
Warm and dry
•as a result the area near the Leeward side become dry and lessprecipitation.
•the dry region on the Leeward side is called rainshadow
•vegetation in this region includes dessert plants and grasslands
What direction ocean flows from northern hemisphere?
Clockwise
What direction ocean flows in southern Hemisphere?
Counterclockwise
What causes the ocean current?
Coriolis effect
Ocean current that flow away from the equator carries warm water . When warm water current that take along water go to a landmass, the temperature of that places increases as warmer air above the water flows inland , resulting in warm climate
What type of temperature does the ocean that flow away from equator
Warm temperatures
Ocean current that flow toward the equator will carries cold water. When that water move toward coastal region, the temperature of that area decreases as warmer air from the land flows to the sea resulting a cold climate
What kind of temperature that ocean bring toward equator
Cold temperatures
•One of the most current issues world wide
•many studies proved that the increase of temperature caused by human intervention and natural happen
•is a change in the environment
Climate change
Is the result of global warming
•Typhoon
•heavier rainfalls
•La Niña
•El niño
What causes the typhoon , heavier rainfalls, la Niña and El ñino
Due to the melting of ice caps and glacier resulting in the rising of the sealevels
Happen when the upwelling of colder water is blocked by large quantities of warm water
El niño
What part of the Philippines, Pacific Ocean locate
East
When there is an increase of temperature in the eastern part of the Philippines then some of the places will also experience this
•also called cold pacific
•the opposite of El Niño
•triggered by the cooling of the east to West causing the upwelling of colder water toto intestify
La niña
Moving air brings along too much water vapor, when it reaches the landmasses , precipitation isis experienced and would increase the rainfall of the area
Is the result of what we know as greenhouse effect that is intestified due to an increase in atmospheric dioxide
Global warming
•The greenhouse effect is like a house where sun's heat can go in but can't go out.
•it is the warming of the earth surface and lower in atmosphere
• a part of the Suns heat is absorbed by the earth surface which is cannot go out into space Including reflected rays that are trapped
Greenshouse is made of
•carbon dioxide
•metane
•chlorofluorocarbon
•nitrous oxide
•water vapor
•Greenhouse effect is normal however human activities made it worst . The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increases.
•greenhouse effect=increase in temperature of the atmosphere
The increase of carbon emission creates an alarming effect to the environment
•burnin of fossil fuels and plastic has increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
•overpopulation means more emmision of carbon monoxide from motorolized vechile
•Deforestration such as Agriculture
Causes of greenhouse effect
Philippines is the third most vulnerable country to climate change
Impact ofof climate change •
•changes in rainfallpattern and distribution
•drought
•threat to a biodiversity and food security
•sea level rise
•endangerment of vulnerable group
1 million hectar of grasslands are vulnerable. Most grasslands in the uplands are prone to fire during extended period of dryness and lack of rainfall during summer
