1.What does the water
represents?
Answer: The clouds or air pressure
2. What did you observe after
shaking the bottled cap in a
counter clockwise movement?
Answer: Formation of whirlpool or vortex.
3. What does the whirlpool
represent?
Answer: Typhoon or Tropical cyclone
4. Do you think what does the
middle of whirlpool represent?

Answer: Eye of the typhoon

5. What is typhoon?
A low-pressure
storm with winds
swirling around
the center.
Commonly occur
in Southeast
Asia.
The only difference between a hurricane, a cyclone, and a
typhoon is the location where the storm occurs.

Hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons are all the same

weather phenomenon; we just use different names for
these storms in different places.In North America, they are
called "Hurricanes". In the bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea
and Western South Indian Ocean, the name is "Cyclone".
In the eastern part of the Southern Indian Ocean, it is
"Willy-Willy", and in the Western North Pacific Ocean,
they are called "Typhoons".
A Tropical Cyclone is a generic term used by
meteorologists to describe a rotating, organized system
of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical
or subtropical waters and has closed, low-level
circulation. Once a tropical cyclone reaches maximum
sustained winds of 74 miles per hour or higher, it is then
classified as a hurricane, typhoon, or cyclone depending
upon where the storm originates in the world.

Tropical cyclones rotate counterclockwise in the Northern

Hemisphere.
They are classified as follows:

Tropical Depression: A tropical cyclone with

maximum sustained winds of 36 to 63 km/h.
Tropical Storm: A tropical cyclone with maximum
sustained winds of 64 to 117 km/h.
Typhoon: A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained
winds of 117 km/h or higher.
Super Typhoon: A tropical cyclone with maximum
sustained winds of 220 km/h or higher.
6. Do you think why is
Philippines prone to
typhoons?

Answer: The Philippines is prone to tropical

cyclones due to its geographical location.
Tropical cyclones can only form over oceans
of the world except in the South Atlantic
Ocean and the south eastern Pacific where a
tropical cyclone could never be formed due to
the cooler sea surface temperature and
higher vertical wind shears. They develop at
latitudes usually greater than 5° from the
equator.
 7. How does the typhoon
formed?
1. Warm Waters ( 26°C or 27°C)
2. Moisture (Heat of Condensation)
3. Inward Spiraling Winds
(Circulation,Divergence,Convergence)
Temperature, wind speed and
direction, cloudness, pressure
and humidity determine the
nature and strength of tropical
cyclones.
 8. Why is there a need to
understand the PAR?
To make monitoring easy for the forecasters,
this large region of the Pacific Ocean is broken
into smaller domains called "areas of
responsibilities".
The exact dimentions of this domain are
the area of the Western North Pacific
bounded by imaginary lines connecting the
coordinates: 5°N 115°E, 15°N 115°E, 21°N
120°E, 25°N 135°E and 5°N 135°E.
PAGASA is obliged to provide information
about the weather disturbance to the public.
Because most tropical cyclones come from the
broad expanse of ocean east of the country,
the eastern boundary of each domain is farther
from the Philippine Islands than the western
boundary.

and Astronomical Services Administration
Typhoon Trivia
Typhoon free Mindanao
Mindanao is traditionally
"outside the typhoon" belt
How many typhoons hit Philippines
every year?
On average, 20 typhoons hit the
Philippines every year. So each set of
25 typhoon names is enough for one
year.
PAGASA’s System for Naming Typhoons in
the Philippines
Some of the handpicked 140 names now make
up PAGASA’s list of names for tropical
cyclones. The list is divided into four sets of 25
typhoon names (each starting with A to Z) with
additional 10 auxiliary names (each starting
with A to J).

What is the difference between tornadoes and hurricanes?
Location :Tornadoes usually occur over land,
while hurricanes almost always form over the
ocean.
Size: The largest tornado every observed
was 4 km wide, but most tornadoes are about
0.8 km wide. Hurricanes are much larger,
ranging from about 160 km to 1600 km wide.
Life cycles: A tornado’s lifetime is short,
ranging from a few seconds to a few hours. A
hurricane’s life cycle can last from days to
weeks.
Wind speeds: The strongest tornadoes can
have wind speeds over 483 kph, but even the
strongest hurricanes rarely produce wind
speeds over 322 kph.
