Lesson 9 Climate

This document discusses factors that affect climate and global climate phenomena. It describes how latitude, altitude, ocean currents, and seasons impact temperature. It also discusses prevailing winds, mountain ranges, and greenhouse gases' influence on precipitation. The document outlines Köppen climate classification and the four climate types found in the Philippines. Finally, it lists some natural causes of climate change like the positions of continents and asteroid impacts, and effects of global warming such as melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and more frequent wildfires.

CLIMATE

At the end of the lesson, the students


will be able to:
Determine the Factors Affecting Climate
factors affect the climate of an area
describe certain climatic phenomena that
occur on a global level
 How has climate change
affected plant and animal life?
factors affecting climate
TEMPERATURE

Depends on the amount of


energy received from the
sun based on the angle and
location at which sunlight
strikes the Earth.

equator
factors affecting climate
FACTORS AFFECTING TEMPERATURE

 Altitude
Elevation or
distance above
the mean sea
level
Pressure
Changes with altitude
Highest atmospheric pressures= cold regions
lowest pressures =tropical warm
environments associated with hurricanes
and typhoons
FACTORS AFFECTING TEMPERATURE
 Ocean currents
• Stream of water that
flows in a definite path
• Ocean currents traveling
toward the equator are
cold water currents
Seasons
DRY
November - May
WET
June - October
Each season is
characterized by
different climates
Köppen climate classification
firstpublished by the German-Russian
climatologist Wladimir Köppen in 1884
Divides climates into five main groups
A (tropical)
B (dry)
C (temperate)
D (continental)
E (polar)
KOPPEN CLASSIFICATION OF
CLIMATE
Tropical Climate – warm all year round, very high
precipitation
Dry Climate – hot summers, cool winters, very low
precipitation
Temperate Climate – warm summers, mild winters,
precipitation, humid
Continental Climate- warm summers, cold winters,
moderate precipitation
Polar Climate – cold all year round, minimal precipitation
Climate Types in the Philippines (refer to page 175-
176)
Climate Type Description Regions/Areas
1 Dry season from November to May Ilocos Region, Central
wet season from June to October Luzon, Metro Manila, and
Zambales

2 No dry season but with rainfall from Bicol Region, Samar, Leyte
November to January and Eastern Mindanao

3 Seasons are not too pronounced but may Cagayan, Isabella, Mountain
be dry from November to April or wet Province and Nueva Vizcaya
during the rest of the year
4 Rainfall is evenly distributed throughout Batanes, Northeastern
the year Luzon, parts of Bicol Region
and western part of Leyte
FACTORS AFFECTING
PRECIPITATION
Prevailing Winds
Blow more often from a certain
direction than from any other
direction
Warm air can hold more moisture
than cold air
Mountain Ranges
affects the amount of precipitation
at a particular location which act as
a barrier to prevailing winds
Mountain Ranges
Windward side Leeward side
side of the  has
little precipitation
mountain which and dry climate
faces the wind  verylittle
this side has precipitation
cold, wet
mountain
9.2 Natural Causes of Climate
Change
Pangaea
Asteroid
Impact
Glaciers
Earth’s tilt
Scientistsclaimed that the tilt of
Earth’s axis slowly changed from 22.1
degrees to 24.5 degrees and back
again
9.3 Global Climate Phenomenon
