• The arrow above the water is coming down and is blue


  The water is cold so it cools the air and cool air sinks
• The arrow above the land is going up and is red

  The land is warm so it warms the air and warm air rises
• The ocean heats up slower than land

  Water has a high heat capacity, and takes a while to heat up
• Southwest Monsoon or "Habagat" occurs

  June to October
• Northeast Monsoon or "Amihan" occurs

  October to March
• ITCZ


  Intertropical Convergence Zone
• The strength of a sea breeze depends on

  The difference between the temperature of the sea and the land

• How the air moves in a sea breeze


  Wind moves from the ocean to the land
• What causes wind on Earth

  Sun and it warming Earth's atmosphere
• Why do land breezes occur at night

  Water cools off faster than land, so the air above land is warmer
• Why does warm air rise

  Warm air is less dense than cooler air
• When air particles gain energy and rise into the atmosphere, how does this affect the air pressure on the earth's surface

  It causes the air pressure to drop creating low pressure
• Wind system characterized by hot and humid weather, frequent heavy rainfall, and a prevailing wind

  Southwest monsoon (hanging habagat)
• Wind system that carries cold and dry wind that affects the Philippines from October to March

  Northeast monsoon (hanging amihan)
• Weather disturbance near the equator where the trade winds of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres come together

  Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)
• Agency responsible for giving weather reports, updates, and warning signals to the public
