What are the different factors that affect weather?

• The five main factors affecting weather are
temperature, air pressure, humidity, cloudiness, and
wind.
Climate and Weather

Objectives

At the end Knowledge: differentiate climate from

of the weather;
lesson,
the Skill: note-take the important details about
learners climate and weather; and
are
expected Attitude: show appreciation on the impact
to: of climate and weather to humans’ lives
Weather Patterns
Climate Patterns
Weather
• Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a
specific place and time.
• Weather can change from hour-to-hour, day-to-day,
month-to-month or even year-to-year.
• Weather is affected with temperature, atmospheric
pressure, wind, humidity, precipitation, and cloud
cover
Climate
• Climate is the general pattern of weather in a certain
area over a long period of time.
• A region's weather patterns, usually tracked for at
least 30 years, are considered its climate.
• A desert, for example, is referred to as an arid climate
because little water falls, as rain or snow, during the
year.
Climate
• Other types of climate include tropical climates, which
are hot and humid, and temperate climates, which
have warm summers and cooler winters.
 Activity

Effect of Latitude on Climate
Latitude • Latitude is the measurement of
distance north or south of the Equator.
• It is measured with 180 imaginary lines
that form circles around Earth east-
west, parallel to the Equator
How Latitude affects on Climate?
• The sun’s rays strike Earth’s surface near the equator, the
incoming solar radiation is more direct solar radiation
causing warmer temperatures
• Temperatures drop the further an area from the equator
due to the curvature of the earth.
• In areas closer to the poles, sunlight has a larger area of
atmosphere to pass through and the sun is at a lower angle
in the sky. As a result, more energy is lost, and
temperatures are cooler.
 Activity

• Activity 1: “When the Sun’s Rays

Strike”
• Each group will only answer the
followings:
• Group 1 – Q1 and Q2
• Group 2 – Q3 and Q4
• Group 3 – Q5 and Q6
Reporting
Application
• Discuss the practical applications of understanding
how latitude affects climate, such as planning travel
and agriculture.

A. Where do people usually go during summer
vacations?
B. Why do they go there?
C. Why is it cold there?
Altitude
Altitude
• Altitude, like elevation, is the distance above sea level.
• Areas are often considered "high-altitude" if they
reach at least 2,400 meters (8,000 feet) into the
atmosphere.
Altitude
• The most high-altitude point on Earth is Mount
Everest, in the Himalayan mountain range on the
border of Nepal and the Chinese region of Tibet.
• Mount Everest is 8,850 meters (29,035 feet) tall.
Altitude
Mount Everest
Altitude
• High-altitude locations are usually much colder than
areas closer to sea level.
• This is due to the low air pressure. Air expands as it
rises, and the fewer gas molecules—including
nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide—have fewer
chances to bump into each other.
Activity

• Students do Activity 2 “The Higher, the Colder” by

pair in page 186.
 Review
How altitude affects on climate?
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the learners are expected to:
Knowledge: identify other different factors that affect
the climate of an area;
Skill: identify other different factors that affect the
climate of an area; and
Attitude: participates in class discussion.
Topography

• Topography refers to the natural features or

arrangement of an area like land.
• Mountain is an example of topographical
features of land.
Windward side

• Windward side is a side of a mountain facing

the wind blows and has low temperature.
Leeward side

• The air moves down towards the opposite

region
Ocean Current

• Ocean currents are patterns of water

movement that influence climate zones and
weather patterns around the world.
• Currents are caused by the wind,
earthquakes and gravity.
Ocean Current

• In the northern hemisphere, the current

flows in a clockwise direction.
• On the other hand, in the southern
hemisphere, the current flow in counter
clockwise direction.
