I. Activity Proper

ACTIVITY 1: PROCESS OF TYPHOON FORMATION

Directions: Analyze each illustration below and match it with descriptions stated on the boxes to show
the complete and detailed process of typhoon formation.

WARM AIR 1. _____

MOIST AIR
with higher air pressure

moves toward the Low Pressure Area

(LPA).

2. _____

B. The upward motion of the air

LPA
creates Low Pressure Area (LPA)
near the surface.

Air from
surrounding
Air from
surrounding
3. _____
area area
clouds and wind movements
depend on ocean’s heat and water
evaporating from the
surface.

4. _____
D. Warm, moist air moves up
and away from the surface.

5. ____
E. The new air becomes warm and
moist and rises, too. As the warmed,
moist air rises and cools off, the water
in the air forms clouds.

Guide Questions

1. Why do typhoons mostly form in oceans near equator?

2. What causes the upward motion of the warm air?

3. What causes the formation of low pressure area?

4. How does the movement of air towards the place where warm air is rising related with typhoon
formation?
 ACTIVITY 2: THE AFTERMATH

1. Typhoon Pepito slowed down from 280
kph to 210 kph after passing the longest
mountain ranges in Philippines,
Sierra Madre.
2. Typhoon Pepito rejuvenates after passing
tropical water (warm ocean).
It gains wind speed from 100 kph to 170
kph.

Directions: Analyze the illustration in each box to understand how landmasses and bodies of water affect
typhoons. Complete the table to show the correct behavior of typhoon as it moves over
landmasses and bodies of water. Explain your answer.
Typhoon pass over Effect
Weaken Strengthen Explanation
1. Mountain Ranges
2. Warm Ocean
3. Cold Ocean
4. Landmasses

Activity 3. Read the following and answer the questions:

In 2013, Typhoon Yolanda (also known as Haiyan) struck the Philippines and was the deadliest typhoon in the
country's history. According to National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council, more than 6000 people were
killed and over 1 million people's homes were damaged, displacing over 600,000 people.

What preparations you have done upon knowing that Typhoon will hit your place?
What is the extent of damage caused by the typhoon in your area? How did you and your family recover from it?
What must be done to prevent such great damage?
