A. Reviewing

(5 minutes) Do you still remember our previous lesson? Students will
answer.
We still remember
it, ma’am.

If you really remember our last topic, what Ma’am, we the

did we discussed last meeting? different factors that
affects climate.

Yes, that’s right.

What are the following factors that affect Ma’am altitude,

climate? latitude, bodies of
water, topography
and ocean currents.

Correct, very good!

The different factors that affect climates are
the following:

Latitude- it is the main factor affecting

global climate, the further we go from the
equator the temperature drops and the
cooler it gets.

Altitude- as altitude increases the

temperature decreases.
Bodies of Water- Water heats and cools
more slowly than landmasses. Therefore,
the coastal regions will stay cooler in
 summer and warmer in winter creating a
more moderate climate.

Topography- it influences wind patterns and

weather patterns. For example: mountain
block cold air the war ground below them,
which results in warmer temperature on one
side of the mountain range than on the
other side.

Ocean currents- act much like a conveyer

belt transporting war water and precipitation Yes Ma’am!
from the equator toward the poles and cold
water from the poles back to the tropics.

greenhouse effect? Ma’am greenhouse
effect is the
trapping of heat into
the earth
atmosphere.

Greenhouse Effect- The greenhouse effect

is the natural warming process of the Earth
that results when gases in the atmosphere
trap heat from the earth that would
otherwise escape into space. Sunlight
makes the earth habitable. While 30
percent of the solar energy that reaches our
world is reflected back to space,
approximately 70 percent passes through
.
the atmosphere to the earth’s surface,
where it is absorbed by the land, oceans,
and atmosphere, and heats the planet. This
heat is then radiated back up in the form of
invisible infrared radiation. While some of
this infrared radiation continues on into
space, the vast majority—indeed, some 90
percent—gets absorbed by atmospheric
gases, known as greenhouse gases, and
redirected back toward the earth, causing
further warming.

Yes Ma’am!

Understand class

We also have the different greenhouse

gasses present into our earth atmosphere.
The different greenhouse gases are carbon
dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydro
fluorocarbons (HFCs), per fluorocarbons
(PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride, and water
vapor. These gases can be naturally
occurring, or man-made. The effect of each
greenhouse gas on earth’s climate depends
on its chemical nature and its relative
concentration in the atmosphere. Some
gases have a high capacity for absorbing
infrared radiation and occur in significant
quantities, whereas others have
considerably lower capacities for absorption
and occur only in traces. Among the
different greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide
absorbs the least amount of energy. For
most of the past 800,000 years, much
longer than human civilization has existed,
the concentration of greenhouse gases in
our atmosphere was between about 200
and 280 parts per million. But in the past
century, that concentration has jumped to
more than 400 parts per million, driven up Ma’am water
by human activities such as burning of vapour, carbon
fossil fuels and deforestation. The higher dioxide, methane,
concentrations of greenhouse gases and nitrous oxide and
carbon dioxide is causing extra heat to be the CFC’s.
trapped and global temperatures to rise.

What are the following greenhouse gasses

present to the atmosphere?

Very Good!

Now let’s proceed to the different climatic

factor that occurs on a global level.

Global warming- is caused by several

factors such as man-made, anthropogenic,
or natural. One example of natural causes
is the released of methane gas from arctic
tundra and wetlands.
Climate Change- is a long-term change in
the average weather patterns. It is
incorporated with the two phenomena, the
global warming and large – scale change in
weather patterns. Changes in Earth’s
climate since the start of the twentieth
century are mainly caused by human
activities, such as burning of fossil fuels for
energy and transportation, agricultural and .
industrial activities, deforestation and
others.

El Niño -is a lengthy warming in the eastern

part of the Pacific Ocean. This natural
phenomenon occurs at irregular intervals of
two to seven years and lasts for nine
months or two years at most. Normally, as
trade wind moves from east to west, it
collects warm air. But when trade winds is
weakened, it causes the piling up of warm
surface water and making the part of the
Pacific Ocean warmer leading to El Niño
phenomenon. This happens when the
upwelling of colder water is blocked by the
large quantities of warm surface water. El
Niño will most likely bring severe drought.
 La Nina- is the opposite climatic
disturbance to El Niño. This natural
phenomenon may but does not always
follow El Niño events. It may last for nine to
twelve months but in some cases, it lasts Yes Ma’am!
for two years. This event is triggered by the
cooling of the eastern part of the Pacific None Ma’am!
Ocean. Trade winds that move from east to
west are strengthened. Moving air brings
along too much water vapor. Areas that
experienced severe drought which was
caused by El Niño may encounter above
normal rainfall. But in some cases, areas
that experience dry season will be drier
than normal conditions. La Niña’s effects
are the opposite of El Niño.

follow.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

A. Read the given statements

about greenhouse effect and global
warming. Make your decision
whether you AGREE or
DISAGREE to each statement.

sheet of paper.
__________1. Some greenhouse
gases are naturally present in the
Earth’s atmosphere.
__________2. All of the radiation
from the Sun is absorbed by the
Earth.
__________3. Plants and animals
are already changing their behavior
because of climate change.

__________4. Without the

greenhouse effect the Earth would
be cold.
__________5. The trade winds are weaker
 during an El Niño event.

To conclude our discussion for today, let

me leave this Bible verse on you.

Psalm 40:1-3 (ESV)

“God is our refuge and strength, always
ready to help in times of trouble. So we will
not fear when earthquakes come and the
mountains crumble into the sea. Let the
oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains Thank you and
tremble as the waters surge!” goodbye, teacher.

That’s all for today class! Goodbye and

thank you!
