Module 1 Locating Places on Earth Using a Coordinate System

Most Essential Learning Competencies

Demonstrate how places on Earth may be located using a coordinate system.
(S7ES-IVa-1)

What’s In

The important imaginary lines running across the surface of Earth are the
equator, the Tropic of Cancer, the Tropic of Capricorn, the prime meridian. Latitude
is the horizontal line that divides the globe or map to northern hemisphere and
southern hemisphere. Longitude is the vertical line that divides the globe or map to
eastern hemisphere and western hemisphere.

 Cartographers long ago created a system of imaginary lines for the whole
globe. The grid lines are called latitude and longitude. They are measured in
degrees. Latitude is the horizontal line that divides the globe or map to northern
hemisphere and southern hemisphere. Longitude is the vertical line that divides
the globe or map to eastern hemisphere and western hemisphere.
The lines of latitude are also known as parallels of latitude. That is because
the lines of latitude are parallel to the equator and to each other. Five lines of latitude
have special names. They are listed in the table below. The latitude values have
been rounded off to the nearest half degree.

Latitude Name
0° Equator
23.5°N Tropic of Cancer
23.5°S Tropic of Capricorn
66.5°N Arctic Circle
66.5°S Antarctic Circle

4
 The closer the latitude is to the equator, the warmer the climate. The closer
it is to the poles, the colder. Thus, there is a relationship between the latitude of a
place and the climate it experiences.
Longitude is the measurement east or west of the prime
meridian. Longitude is measured by imaginary lines that run around the Earth
vertically (up and down) and meet at the North and South Poles. These lines are
known as meridians. Each meridian measures one arc degree of longitude
Some important details about these lines include:
➢ The line which runs through Greenwich in London is called the
Greenwich Meridian or Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian is 0°
longitude.
➢ The Earth is then divided into 180° east and 180° west.
➢ The International Date Line lies at 180° east/west.
The location of a place may be described by using a coordinate system.
You should look at the intersecting lines of latitude and longitude to locate exact
places on Earth. The starting point for latitude is the equator which is at latitude 0°.
The starting point for longitude is the prime meridian which is at longitude 0°.
When writing the coordinates of a place, always write the latitude first

 Module 2 Sustainable Use of Earth’s Resources

Most Essential Learning Competencies

Cite and explain ways of using Earth’s resources sustainably. (S7ES-IVc-4)

What’s In

According to E.O. 192, s. 1987, The Department of Environment and Natural

Resources (D.E.N.R.) the department is the primary agency responsible for the
conservation, management, development, and proper use of the country’s
environment and natural resources, specifically forest and grazing lands, mineral
resources, including those in reservation and watershed areas, and lands of the
public domain, as well as the licensing and regulation of all natural resources as
may be provided for by law in order to ensure equitable sharing of the benefits
derived there from for the welfare of the present and future generations of Filipinos.

To accomplish this mandate, the Department shall be guided by the following

objectives:

1. Assure the availability and sustainability of the country's natural resources

through judicious use and systematic restoration or replacement,
whenever possible.

2. Increase the productivity of natural resources to meet the demands for

forest, mineral, and land resources if a growing population.

3. Enhance the contribution of natural resources for achieving national

economic and social development.

4. Promote equitable access to natural resources by the different sectors of

the population.

9
 5. Conserve specific terrestrial and marine areas representative of the
Philippine natural and cultural heritage for present and future generations.

We are blessed to have Earth as our home. Humans are considered the
steward of every non- living and living things in this living planet. Life forms exist and
will always depend on the natural resources. Natural resources are everything as
provided by nature or resources that are naturally occurring. The earth’s natural
resources can be classified as either renewable or nonrenewable resources.
Renewable resources take a relatively short time to be replaced by nature while
nonrenewable resources take a long time to be replaced by nature wherein the
rate of consumption is greater than the rate of replacement. We have different
natural resources found in water, land, and air.

Land resources or the soil are Water resources are considered as

considered as nonrenewable. Here is
the list of different resources that we
can obtain from land:
• Flora and fauna are the millions
of species of plants and
animals.
• Minerals are compounds that
are embedded in rocks that are
commonly extracted through
mining. They are either metal
or nonmetal deposits.
• Farm products are the various
plants and animals that people
depend on for food.
renewable. Here is the list of different
resources that we can obtain from
water:
• Potable water for drinking
purposes and some important
uses of water for cleaning homes
and industrial usage.
• Natural harbors and navigation
for water transportations.
• Marine animals and aquatic
plants are the animals and plants
that are living in water.

Water resources are considered as renewable. Earth’s atmosphere is

composed of different gases such as: oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide
water vapors etc.

10
The illustration below shows the different human activities that can destroy the
natural resources or the
ecosystem.
People continue to
abuse the different
resources to keep our lives
rolling with convenience.
We make use of various
products from nature to
meet our needs and yet we
destroy its natural state.
Pollutions in air, water, and
soil are the results of our
abusive acts. We poison
not just the air but all the
breathing organisms as
well.

Figures below, show some of the ways on how we can protect and conserve our
natural resources.

 Module 3 LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE

MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCY

Discuss how energy from the sun interacts with the layers of the
atmosphere. (S7ES-IVd5)

What’s In
Natural Resources are abundant in our country, because of the geographical
location of the Philippines. We are experiencing climate differently from certain area
because of its latitude. This module discuss how energy from the sun interacts with
the layers of the atmosphere.

http://www.astronomynotes.com/solarsys/s3c.htm

16
 Earth’s atmosphere has different layers, each layer has its own specific
traits. The atmosphere extends from the surface of the Earth to heights of thousands
of kilometers, where it gradually merges with the outer space.

Layers of the Atmosphere

Layer Description
It is the layer closest to the Earth, where we live, where weather is
formed and where airplanes fly on top of it. The temperature
Troposphere decreases with increasing altitude. It is about 10 miles (16 km) above
the surface of the Earth.
It is the layer ideal condition for flying large airplanes. Temperature
increases with height. It is 30 miles (48 km) above the surface of the
Stratosphere Earth. Ozone layer is part of it (helps shield the Earth from harmful
sun rays)
It is the coldest layer. Meteoroid break apart forming meteors. It is 50
Mesosphere miles (80 km) above the surface of the Earth The temperature
decreases with height.
It is five times as deep as all other the layers combined. It is 300
miles (483 km) above the surface of the Earth. It is very hot (up to
Thermosphere 20000C). Temperature rises with elevation. It is responsible for the
transmission of radio waves used in broadcasting.
It is the upper limit of the thermosphere with an altitude of 550 to
Exosphere 3200 km. Satellites are stationed in this region and orbits the Earth to
transmit communication signals.
https://www.teachengineering.org/activities/view/cub_air_lesson01_activity1

The surface of the Earth absorbs heat from the sun, as it warms-up the
heat spreads into the lower layers of the atmosphere, and it can transfer some of
the hot air or heat to the upper layer of the atmosphere, when air heats up it
becomes less dense, causing it to rise above the cooler air, and as air travels to
the higher ground it becomes cooler because the higher the altitude the cooler
the air, and little amount of energy given by the sun has interaction with the
atmosphere, moderate changes in the energy balance of Earth may lead to long
term climate change. Different atmospheric pressure can generate winds. The
cooler,denser air moves over Earth’s surface toward the equator to replace the
heated air, furthermore winds blow from high pressure area to low pressure areas.

17
 There are four layers of atmosphere based on temperature variations. First
the troposphere, it is the closest to the Earth, the temperature decreases as the
altitude increases, second layer is stratosphere, temperature rises with altitude,
third mesosphere, temperature decreases as height increases and the last is the
thermosphere, temperature rises with elevation. The layers have upper
boundaries known as the tropopause, the stratopause and the mesopause.

The temperature variations are based on the way solar energy is absorb
and moves downward through the atmosphere. Earth’s surface is absorber of
solar energy: the energy is absorbed or reradiated upward by the Earth as heats,
which warms the covering of troposphere. In troposphere there are global
average temperature where all main weather phenomena occur rapidly
decreases with altitude until reaching the tropopause. With the altitude in
stratosphere the temperature increases, while in stratopause the temperature
decreases with altitude because the mesopause does not absorb solar radiation.
At the mesopause the increase in temperature rises again with altitude and this
occurrence continues in the thermosphere. The Thermosphere heated as the
sun’s solar energy hits first the Earth’s atmosphere. Furthermore, the atmosphere
is so thin, even the thermometer can’t measure the accuracy of the temperature
only special instruments are needed.

Radiation transfer heat through electromagnetic waves or photons and

the heat radiated by the Sun can be classified into two: the solar surface and the
Earth's surface. Heat is transferred in the troposphere in 3 ways, heated air
molecules move faster making the warm air rise and the cold air sink. This
produces convection currents which moves heat throughout the troposphere.

 Land and Sea Breeze, Monsoons, and Intertropical
Module 4 Convergence Zone (ITCZ)

le
MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCY
Account for the occurrences of land and sea breezes, monsoons, and
intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). S7ES-IVf-7

What’s In

One important indication of weather condition is the wind, how fast it is

moving, and where it is heading to. In the succeeding discussions, you will learn
the effect of temperature and pressure to movement of the air and the use of
map in determining the wind movement during different seasons and locations
in the Philippines.

Sea Breeze and Land Breeze

People living near the shorelines feel the blowing wind and observe that
they change direction at different times of the day. A gentle wind is called as
breeze. Breezes are evident near bodies of water. There are two types of
breezes, land breeze and sea breeze. These winds occur near the coastal areas
and have an impact on the humidity level, atmospheric temperature, and
precipitation rates. The source of the wind dictates the name of the breeze. Sea
breeze is the breeze that appears to come from the sea toward the land. It is
often called the onshore winds. It occurs during daytime as water retain heat and
warm up longer than land. Land breeze is the breeze that appears to come from
the land toward the sea. It is often called the offshore winds and occurs during
night- time. The difference in air pressure over the land and sea are caused by
temperature differences.

22
Monsoons

Monsoons are comparable to sea and land breezes, except that they
involve a greater mass of air that move horizontally. In monsoons, the wind blows
either to the continent or to the oceans because of the difference in temperature
and pressure. Monsoons are large-scale land and sea breezes that affect larger
areas. There are two kinds of monsoons in the Philippines: the northeast
monsoon and the southwest monsoon. The names of the monsoon are derived
from the origin where these wind system blow.

23
Table 2. Difference between Southwest Monsoon and Northeast Monsoon

24
The Intertropical Convergence Zone
(ITCZ), known as the equatorial trough or
doldrums because of the lack of horizontal
air movement, appears as a band of
clouds, usually thunderstorms, that
encircle the earth near the Equator where
trade winds in the Northern and Southern
Hemispheres converge or meet. Its
specific position varies seasonally. It
affects the Philippines from May to
October. From November to April, it is
located south of the Philippines. With the
change of the seasons, the zone of
convergence moves back and forth across
the equator. In the ITCZ, air motion is mainly vertical. This provides moderate to
strong surface winds and frequent cloudiness and thunderstorms. Its poleward
movement is more visible over land than over water and over Northern
Hemisphere than over Southern hemisphere. In July and August, the ITCZ is
between 5 degrees and 15 degrees north of the equator over the Atlantic Ocean
and Pacific Ocean, over the landmasses of Africa and Asia. It is further north. It
may move up to 30 degrees north of the equator.
