Climate

• 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 cold climate and those near the equator will experience warm climate
• The air temperature decreases as the altitude is far away
• 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 heats faster than water, thus making air temperature above sea level is lower than above the grounds

  •warm air moves out from land to sea , slowing down the rise of air temperature

  •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 heats faster than water in day time and cools down 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 Leeward side

  •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 less precipitation.

  •the dry region on the Leeward side is called rain shadow

  •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 sea levels
• 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 rainfall pattern 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
• Causes of climate change

  •increase of greenhouse gases

  •burnin fossil fuel

  •land use change
