Q2 – W5 Why does Typhoon is common in the Philippines
Typhoons are common in the Philippines due
to the country's location in the western Pacific Ocean, where warm ocean waters and favorable atmospheric conditions create an ideal environment for tropical cyclones. The Philippines sits along the typhoon belt, making it susceptible to several typhoons each year, especially from June to November. Factors such as the country's geography, with many islands and coastal areas, also contribute to the impact of these storms, often resulting in heavy rainfall, strong winds, and flooding. HURRICANES,TYPHOONS AND CYCLONES HURRICANE
Are tropical storm
that forms over the North Atlantic Ocean and North East Pacific CYCLONE
Formed over South Pacific and Indian Ocean TYPHOONS
Are formed over North West Pacific Ocean PARTS OF THE TYPHOON EYE EYE WALL RAIN BANDS- Curved bands of clouds and thunderstorms that trail away from the eye wall in a spiral function Air mass You will understand the Low-pressure areas or cyclones process of how a typhoon High – pressure areas or anticyclones forms if you are familiar Weather fronts with the ff.phrases Weather disturbances AIR MASSES Large body of air that acquires the physical characteristics of the surface where it forms AIR MASSES
Large body of air(often covering thousands of
square kilometers) that acquires the physical characteristics of the surface where it forms- mainly temperature and moisten content of the surface of the region where it forms. Example: if the region is a warm ocean surface, the air mass over it will warm and moist And if the region is a wide area covered with snow, the air mass over it will be cold and probably with low moisture content AIR MASSES In short, the properties of an air mass depends on the surface area over which it is moving. Furthermore, such properties are different from those of the sorrounding air FRONTS Is the boundary between two air masses with different temperature FRONTS And air masses that is warmer than the surface over which it moves is described as a warm air masses And one which is colder than the surface over which it moves is a cold air mass The temperature description is only relative to the surface over which the air mass is moving What happen when air masses of different Air masses do not mix if they do not have the same temperature and properties moisture content collide? Thus, forming a weather front or a boundary between the two air masses Warm front boundary between It happens when warm air the two air advances over cold air, or cold air masses retreats as the warm air pushes over it. Cold front the boundary between the two air When cold air pushes masses under a warm air mass thereby lifting it Weather disturbances Usually occur along the boundaries between two air masses of different properties Weather disturbances
Usually associated with torrential rains, flashfloods, thunderstorms, tornadoes and low- pressure areas or cyclones. PAG-ASA & DOST WEATHER BUREAU
Is in charge of observing, recording and studying weather conditions in the Philippines PAGASA: Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration DOST: Department Of Science and Technology PAGASA Monitors weather conditions in the Philippines Monitors weather disturbances from the time a low-pressure area is spotted to its entrance into and exit out of the PHILIPPINES AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY(PAR). As soon as cyclone enters the PAR,PAGASA issue bulletins that notify the public about its location, how strong the wind is, its expected path,the probable time of landfall, warning to fishermen's and seafarers,and warnings and danger from storm surge,flood and landslide. How are cyclones classified? Depending on wind speed near the center, cyclones in the tropics are classified as follows How a tropical cyclone develops The violence of a typhoon Due to the tremendous energy released as condensation occurs continuously For a cyclone to continue developing, three conditions are necessary a. There must be a continuous supply rising warm moist air b. The air at the center must rise high enough to cool and bring about condensation c. The exit of the air above is continuous, thus permitting a continuous flow of warm moist air from below BIRTH OF THE TROPICAL CYCLONE BIRTH OF A HURRICANE HOW DO TYPHOON WINDS MOVE
TROPICAL WINDS PATH OF TROPICAL CYCLONES EFFECT OF LANDFORMS AND BODIES OF WATER ON TYPHOONS TYPHOON WINDS Direction od the wind is counterclockwise,indicating that said events is in the northern hemisphere. If the eye of this typhoon will pass directly over an inhabited area,the people there will experience strong winds twice: First- is as the typhoon approaches the area,characterized by strong winds blowing in one direction.This is followed by a period of calm without rain as the eye of the typ[hoon passes Second-is when the other side of the eye wall hits the area,characterized by strong winds again,but this time blowing I the opposite direction PATH OF THE TROPICAL CYCLONE History will show that the southwestern part of the North Pacific HAS MORE TYPHOONS than any other places of the earth In the Northern Hemisphere they travel westward due to the earth’s location The typhoons that reach the Philippines originate mostly from the CAROLINE- MARIANAS area They travel from southeast of the Philippines and toward the west- northwest EFFECT OF LANDFORMS AND BODIES OF H2O ON TYPHOONS
OCEAN INTERACTION-Ocean is the main source of energy that fuels a
typhoon
LAND INTERACTION-When a typhoon makes a landfall,there is not much
source of evaporating moisture;hence,its main energy source is removed.
This could cause the typhoon winds to slow down.Furthermore,Friction
against the land could furthere slow it down,specially if there are rugged terrains and mountain ranges that block the winds. EFFECT OF LANDFORMS AND BODIES OF H2O ON TYPHOONS COASTAL BARRIER ISLANDS WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF VIEWING THE PATHS OF TYPHOONS OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME INSTEAD OF JUST FEW TYPHOONS? WHY IS THE PHILIPPINES IS PRONE TO TYPHOON? WHY IS THE PHILIPPINES IS PRONE TO TYPHOON? STORM SURGE
• Storm surge is an abnormal
rise in sea level that occurs during a storm, primarily due to the strong winds and low atmospheric pressure associated with tropical cyclones like typhoons and hurricanes. WIND SYSTEMS IN THE PHILIPPINES PHILIPPINE PUBLIC STORM WARNING SIGNAL
