Whats New

The weather condition is affected by the different elements that change the
atmosphere. It refers to the clouds, wind, temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation,
sunshine, and visibility. Climate and weather are different concepts, though they are related.
Do the following activity to identify the elements that affect weather and climate.

 What Is It
Take a look outside your window, is it rainy or sunny? is it cloudy or hot? When you
look out the window, you’re seeing what is the weather today. Climate, on the other hand, is
more than just warm or cool days. Climate describes the typical weather conditions in an
entire region for a very long time. The following are elements of the atmosphere that might
affect weather and climate:

1. Air temperature is the measure on how hot or cold the air is. At high temperature,
the molecules in the air move faster and water evaporates faster.
2. Air pressure is the amount of force per unit area. Places with higher pressure, the
weight of air above us becomes heavier usually indicates fair weather. Areas with high
temperatures have lower air pressure, the air becomes thinner or less dense. When a center
of low pressure develops with the system of high - pressure area then this is a signal of a
stormy weather.
3. Amount and type of precipitation forms of droplets of water (drizzle, shower,
downpour) or solidified water (snow, ice and hail). It is the condensation of water vapor and
its deposition on the earth’s surface.
4. Wind speed and direction. Wind is the uneven distribution of temperature and
pressure in the atmosphere. Air moves from an area of high pressure to that of a low pressure.
Wind that blows over bodies of water are cooler and moist, while wind that travels over
landmasses is warmer and dry.
5. Types of cloud. With very warm air temperature, water vapor condenses to form
clouds. The more evaporation takes place, the more saturated the clouds will become and
form rain clouds.
6. The amount of water vapor in the air is known as humidity. Dry air has low humidity,
while moist air has high humidity.

The presence of sunshine and the visibility you observe can tell the present condition
of weather. Being able to predict, or forecast the weather is indeed important. If you know
what kind of weather you will likely experience, you can prepare for it. If you know that bad
weather is coming, you can keep out of danger. Weather is the current condition for a shorter
period of time while climate is the condition for a longer period of time. Why do we need to
study climate?

What’s More

Philippine climate is generally hot and quite humid. The patterns of weather during a
specific part of the year affect the formation of seasons. Philippines experiences three
seasons, a hot dry summer, wet season and cooler and dry season. Below is the figure of
types of climate in the Philippines. To further study the climate in the Philippines, answer the
following questions on the Activity:

Factors Affecting
2 Climate of an Area
What’s New
Activity 1: When the Sun’s Rays Strike
Objective: At the end of the activity, the learner is expected to:
1. Defines latitude; and
2. Explains how latitude affects climate.
Procedure: Study the illustration on figure 1.
Figure 1. The Latitude

LATITUDE
Latitude means how far north or south of the equator a place is located.
Based on latitude, the climates of the world are classified into three types. They are
 the polar climate or frigid zone (at the North and South Poles),
 the temperate climate or Temperate zone (found in the areas
away from the equator) and
 the tropical climate or Torrid zone (at the equatorial belt where
Answer the following:
1. How much is the tilt of the earth’s axis? ________ (66.50 , 23.50 ).
2. Which part of the earth receives most of the sun’s rays? ______________
3. Why does the amount of heat receive by places far from the equator become less?
___________________
4. Why are the coldest places on earth found near the poles? __________
5. Why are places with high temperature found at the equator? __________
6. How does latitude affect climate? _______________

You noticed that as Earth is tilted on its axis an angle of 23.50. As the sun’s rays strikes
different part of the Earth receive different amount of solar radiation. Thus, the climate of a
place also affects the distance from the equator. At the poles, since energy from the sun
reaches Earth’s surface at lower angle and travels through a thicker layer of the atmosphere
than at the equator, it is expected that the climate is cooler.
7
 Next activity, you will learn how ocean Currents/ bodies of water affects climate of an
area.

Activity 2: Hot or Cold?

Objectives:

At the end of the activity, the learner is expected to:

1. Compares the climate of the places near and far from bodies of
Water,
2. Explains how ocean currents/bodies of water affects climate.

Ocean Currents/Bodies of Water

The nearness of a region to the sea also affects its climate. The main patterns of ocean
current result from the earth's rotation and the gravitational attraction among the earth, moon
and sun.
An ocean current is part of the ocean in which the water flows in a definite direction.
Some of these currents are caused by wind moving over the ocean surface. Some currents
are warm-water currents. Other currents are cold-water currents because they flow from the
poles toward the equator, thus making the bodies of water in this area cooler.
Figure 3. Ocean Currents of the World

Source: Science Learner’s Module 9.Department of Education. 5th Floor Mabini Bldg., DepEd
Complex, Meralco Avenue Pasig City. Philippines 1600. 2014.

Figure 3 shows different loops or gyres of surface currents around the world. In the
northern part of the earth called the northern hemisphere, the current flows in a clockwise
direction. On the other hand, in the southern part called the southern hemisphere, the current
flows in counter clockwise direction. These clockwise and counter clockwise of ocean currents
are caused by the Coriolis Effect. Ocean currents that flow away from the equator carries
warm water. The air above the warm water has higher temperature.
When ocean currents that bring cold water move towards a coastal region, the
temperature of that area decreases as warmer air from the land flows to the sea resulting in a
cold climate. When warm ocean currents that take along warm water go to a land mass, the
temperature of that place increases as warmer air above the water flows inland, resulting in a
warm climate.
Answer the following questions:

1. What is ocean current?

2. What are the different ocean currents that carry warm water? Give at least three
Examples: _______________; __________________; ______________.

 3. What are the different ocean currents that carry cold water? Give at least three
Examples: ________________; _________________; ______________.
4. How does ocean current affects climate? _____________________________

Now, you have learned that distance from the ocean/sea is another factor that affects
climate.
The amount of water vapor present in the air of our surroundings (is known as humidity)
increases as the temperature also increases. And since water vapor produced through heat
from the sun, we will be expecting that water vapor is having high temperature. And if this
vapor stays in in the surroundings it will make us uncomfortable and warm.
It’s time for you to explore more factors that influence climate.

What Is It
Altitude

Altitude refers to the height above sea level.

Areas that are high elevations have lower average
temperature than areas at lowlands. The land part
of the earth consists generally of mountains and
lowlands.
Temperatures in mountainous regions are
much lower than those in lowlands. Why? When a
warm and moist air mass rise up the side of a
mountain from the lowlands, it is lifted to heights
where it cools. Cooling of warm air causes its water
vapor to condense. Thus, the air on the side of the
mountain is dry and cool. The cool air moves down
the valley as a mountain breeze.
Altitude of a place and its nearness to the
sea affect climate.
Do activity 4 to understand more altitude.

Activity 3: I am High and Cold

Objectives : At the end of the activity, the learner is expected to:
1. defines altitude,
2. identifies some warm and cold places in the Philippines,
3.describes how altitude affects the climate of the place.

top&hspart=iba&hsimp=yhs-1

You observe that one of the topographic features of an area is a mountain.

Mountainous areas greatly affect the amount of precipitation in a certain region. The area in
which the wind blows is called the windward side. Here, the wind is blocked by the mountain,
forcing it to move upward. As it moves, the water vapor condenses and forms clouds. This
result in precipitation on the windward side. The air moves down towards 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 becomes dry and has less precipitation. The dry region
on the leeward side is called rainshadow. Vegetation in this region includes desert plants and
grassland.
Rain shadow is seldom found here in the Philippines because our country is
surrounded by bodies of water. Another reason is that the Philippines has two local wind
systems such as Amihan and Habagat. These local winds bring precipitation in every part of
the Philippines.
Therefore, altitude is one of the factors affects climate of the place.

What’s More
Wind patterns over the earth are caused by the unequal heating of the earth's surface,
plus the rotation of the earth. If the earth is not rotating, warm air from the equatorial region
will move directly toward the North and South Poles. Since the earth is rotating from west to
east, the winds are deflected westward. This shift in global wind direction due to the earth's
rotation is called Coriolis Effect.
Study figure below. Answer the questions that follows.

Questions:
1. How does the Earth's rotation affect the
wind direction? ____________________
2. How does it affects the climate?
_______________________________

10
 And lastly, the amount of rain is another factor affects climate.
Let’s learn about it!

Activity 6: Amount of Rainfall

Amount of rainfall means the frequency and amount of precipitation of a place.

Different parts of the Philippines have different amounts of rainfall during the year. The
amount of rainfall is used to describe the climate in the region

Tropical regions which are generally hot and wet have high temperature and rainfall.
The differences in surface temperatures in the tropics create a very wet and humid
atmosphere.

different places in the
Philippines? ___________ ___________________

What Is It
Different parts of the world have different climates. The main features that affect
climate are the temperature and the amount of rainfall. They generally determine the kinds of
plant and animal species that grow in certain places.

HOT CLIMATE. The region between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn is
called the tropics. The climate within this regions just to the north and south of the
tropics is called subtropical. The warmth and plentiful rainfall in these regions
which include the Philippines, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries is
beneficial to the plants that grow well in this climate such as trees, palms, bananas,
rice, corn and other vegetation.
The savannah is the region of tropical grassland which is found in the African
forests. The Sahara Desert is the world's largest desert. It is covered with sand
dunes. The lack of rainfall does not allow vegetation to thrive well in this desert.
11
TEMPERATE CLIMATE. The cold temperate regions of the world are occupied by large
and dense forests such as those found in North America, Europe and parts of Asia.
Most plant species are hardwoods like oak, elm and beech, evergreen plants like
fir and conifers, and fruits like grapes, peaches and persimmon. Animals that thrive
well in temperate climates are foxes, squirrels and bears.
COLD CLIMATE. The coldest climates are in the Arctic close to the North Pole and in the
Antarctic close to the South Pole. These regions have a polar climate which are
very cold. During winter, the ground is permanently covered with snow and the
temperature can go down to 50 degree Celsius, nothing can grow in this kind of
weather.

Polar bears, penguins and seals can live in cold climates because of their thick
fur and a layer of fat under their skin.

The influence of climate on the lifestyles and activities of people in the world is very
observable.
1. Houses in cold countries use of heating system during winter. In warm countries, the
homes are provided with a cooling system used for almost throughout the year.
2. Differences in clothing, people in cold countries walk the streets with thick clothes like
wool, leather and fur coats, the people in the tropics walk the streets with thin clothes
like cotton and polyester.
3. Some games can only be played in certain places. For example, in the Philippines, it
does not snow, so it will be impossible for us to engage in winter sports such as cross-
country skiing or outdoor ice-skating.

Activity 7: The Impact of Climate on People’s Life

1. What do people living in hot countries wear? ______

2. What do people living in very cold countries wear? ______
3. Is the kind of climate also affects the kind of house they live in? How?

What’s More
Solve the Problem: When you place the egg on top of the bottle, the air pressure inside
and outside is equal, so nothing happened. When you dropped the burning paper into
the bottle it caused the air inside to heat up expand rapidly. The higher outside pressure
pushes the egg into the bottle.
Think Critically:
1. When the fire goes out, the air inside the bottle cools. As it cools, the air contracts,
and the pressure of the air inside the bottle becomes less than the pressure outside.
2. Air pressure changes from place to place. It generally gets lower as you go higher.
That’ why your eardrums pop when you go up a steep mountain. As you go higher, there
is less air pressure around you. The popping of your eardrum trying to balance the
higher air pressure inside your ear with the lower pressure outside your ear.
