Whether the weather be fine, or

whether the weather be not.
Whether the weather be cold, or

whether the weather be hot.
We’ll weather the weather whether,

whatever the weather, we like it or
not.

flew.
While these fleas flew, freezy breeze blew.
Freezy breeze made these three trees freeze.
Freezy trees made these trees’ cheese freeze.
That’s what made these three free fleas

sneeze.

How Well Do You Know the

EARTH?

It is the height above sea level.

L T T U E

An imaginary line that is

parallel to the equator.
L T T D E

It is the surface feature of an area.

OP GR H Y

It is the overall condition of an

area over a long period of
time.
L I A T

A process which occurs on the

surface of a liquid as it changes into
the gas phase before reaching its
boiling point.
E AP

Easterly surface winds pattern in the

tropics, within the lower portion of
the Earth's atmosphere, in the lower
section of the troposphere near the
Earth's equator.
R A D W N S

A colorless gas with a density about

60% higher than that of dry air.
AR O I O I E


Learners will explain the occurrence

of atmospheric phenomena
(breezes, monsoons, and ITCZ) that
are commonly experienced in the
country as a result of the
Philippines’ location with respect to
the equator, and surrounding bodies
of water and landmasses.

Being located beside the Pacific

Ocean, the Philippines is prone
to typhoons. Learners will
explain how typhoons develop,
affected by landforms and
bodies of water, and follow
certain paths as they move
within PAR.

Learners will distinguish between

weather and climate. They will
explain how different factors affect
climate of an area. They will be also
introduce to climatic phenomena
that occur over a wide area (e.g. El
Niňo and global warming).

The theory of plate

tectonics is the sole is the
sole topic in earth and
space in this level. (More
time is needed is needed to
explore connections and
deepen learning
understanding.


The equator receives much of

the radiant energy released
by the sun, so places near
the equator have warm
climate.

The areas closer to the

poles receive more amount
of heat because the angle
of sunlight becomes
smaller.

When the area is farther

from the equator, the
temperature is higher.

The air temperature

decreases as the altitude
increases.

Soil heats up faster than

water. Soil releases heat
faster than water.

Mountain ranges do not

affect the formation of
precipitation.

El Niño is an abnormal and

lengthy warming in the
western part of the pacific
ocean.

ACTIVITY TIME!!

Activity 1:
Which Side Are You?



Windward Side Leeward Side

 area in which wind  area in which wind
blows and blocked by moves downward
the mountain, forcing it  cold air starts to absorb
to move upward heat
 as the air moves  area becomes dry and
upward, the water vapor has less precipitation
condenses and forms  dry region is called rain

Other Factors affecting Climate

Latitude
Which of the two areas can produce
heavy precipitation?
Belts of Low Pressure Belts of High Pressure
at 0°and at 60°North & centered at 30°North &
South Latitudes South Latitudes
As latitude increases, the average

yearly temperature decreases.
Location on Land Masses

What is the climate in areas near the
center of a large landmass?
Colder Climates Drier Climates
Locations near the center of a large landmass

tend to have wide ranges in temperatures both
bet. day and night, and seasonally

Proximity to large bodies of water

Which has the higher levels of annual
rainfall?
Areas far from water Areas near large bodies

of water
Areas near large bodies of water have a

smaller range in temperature variations
throughout the year.
Ocean Currents
Ocean currents tend to ___________ of
eastern coastal areas.
western coastal areas eastern coastal areas
Ocean currents tend to warm temperatures of

eastern coastal areas and cool

Activity 2:
How Big Is Your

Carbon Footprint?

The total amount of greenhouse gases

produced to directly and indirectly support
human activities, usually expressed in
equivalent tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) is
known as Carbon Footprint.
• Each person’s carbon footprint is the

average of all emissions of CO2
(carbon dioxide), which was induced by
activities in a given time frame.
• A single carbon footprint is usually

calculated for the time period of a year.

• Burning of fossil fuels is one of the

main sources of carbon dioxide
emission.
• Too much concentration of carbon

dioxide in the atmosphere could lead to
increase in global temperature.

Data on Carbon Emission by Countries

What would be the outcome if there is

too much carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere?
More carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

mean that the equilibrium temperature will
be higher as these gases absorb more
heat. It results to the increase of global
temperature.

Emission?)

Activity 3:
What is El Niño?




Basic Information about El Niño
• abnormal and lengthy warming in the eastern

part of the pacific ocean
• occurs at the irregular intervals of two to

seven years and lasts for nine months or two
years at most
• starts at the end of the year or during the

Christmas season
Events during El Niño
• trade winds move from west to east they

collects warm air
• when trade winds are weakened, they

causes the piling up of warm surface water
and making the part of the Pacific Ocean
warmer leading to the El Niño phenomenon

• happens when the upwelling of colder water

is blocked by the large quantities of warm
surface water.
(The cause of the weakening of the trade

winds is still unknown and it’s still being
investigated)

Effects of El Niño in the Country
• some areas in the Philippines will experience

this climatic phenomenon due to the increase
of the temperature in the eastern part of the
Pacific Ocean
• some areas in the country will experience

near to above average rainfall and some
areas may experience drier than normal
rainfall.
• most likely bring severe drought
• causes stronger thunderstorm

disturbance and massive storms
• causes the decrease in the population

of some species.


Drought Damage to crops
High Heat Index Decrease in Water Level
Cloud Seeding Environmental Degradation

Besides the effect on marine water, brackish

water and fish ponds have also been affected
due to the reduction of rainfall and increase in
the salinity of tidal water.
