B. Analysis Questions
1. Tropical Cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they
form only over warm ocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises
upward from near the surface.
2. The waters of the Philippines are mostly warm, especially at sea level this is due to the
country’s location on the planet. The Nation lies above the Equator and enjoys the year-round
Tropical weather.
3. Tropical cyclones forming between 5 and 30 degrees North latitude typically move
toward the west. Sometimes the winds in the middle and upper levels of the
atmosphere change and steer the cyclone toward the north and northwest.
4. Eastern Visayas
Bicol Region
Northern Luzon
Southern Island

Supplementary Questions
1. In the ocean,because the evaporation of the water is formed in the ocean..
2. near the equator . It is because the heat of the sun is directly or concentrated to the
near or even in the equator .
3. They can, why? Since the Coriolis force is zero at the Earth's equator, typhoons
can only form at latitudes that are more than about 10 degrees north or south of the
Earth's equator.
4. The Philippines is prone to tropical cyclones due to its geographical location which
generally produce heavy rains and flooding of large areas and also strong winds which
result in heavy casualties to human life and destruction to crops and properties.

Analysis:
2 POINTS EACH
1. If a typhoon is located at 15°N, 138°E, is it within the PAR?
2. How about if the typhoon is at 19°N, 117°E, is it inside the PAR?
3. Why is there a need to track typhoons?
4. What important details are obtained from a tracking map?
5. What precautions must you observe in order to stay safe during typhoon?

Answers:
1. No, the typhoon is outside the PAR.
2. No, the typhoon is outside the PAR.
3. An accurate track forecast is important, because if the track forecast is
incorrect, forecasts for intensity, rainfall, storm surge, and tornado threat will also
be incorrect.
4. A typhoon track chart is a map about the location and trajectory of a typhoon.
5. · Do not panic, remain calm.
· Pack foods that don't need cooking.
· Keep flashlights, candles and battery-powered radios within reach.
· Examine your houses and repair unstable parts as much as possible.
· Secure domesticated animals in a safe place.
