PRE-ASSESSMENT

moderate climate. It is located near the equator. What will
most likely affect the climate of the city?
a. altitude
b. latitude
c. Distance from the ocean
d. all of these
WHAT IS CLIMATE?
CLIMATE
It is the overall condition of
an area over a long period of
time.
WEATHER
It is a short condition of
atmosphere at particular
time and place.
RECALL
LATITUDE – an imaginary
line that circles the earth
and that is parallel to the
equator.
LONGITUDE – an
imaginary line that
extends from north
pole to south pole
RECALL
TROPICAL REGIONS –
near the equator.
TEMPERATE REGIONS –
moderate temperature
POLAR REGION – south
pole and north pole
FACTORS THAT AFFECTS
CLIMATE
 Latitude
 Altitude
 Topography
 Distance from the
Ocean
Ocean Currents
ACT. 1 WHEN THE SUN’S RAY

ACT. 1 WHEN THE SUN’S RAYS
STRIKE
1. How much is the tilt of the earth’s
axis?
2. Which of the earth receives most of the
sun’s rays?
3. Why does the amount of heat receive
by places far from the equator becomes
less?
4. Why are the coldest places on earth
found near the poles?
5. Why are the places with high
temperature found at the equator?
6. How does latitude affects climate?
FACTORS THAT AFFECTS
CLIMATE
 Latitude
Tilt of the Earth’s axis towards or away from the sun
creates the seasons
Earth’s Seasons
North Pole
Earth
When the north pole tilts toward the
sun, it gets more radiation – more warmth
during the summer
SUMMER (Northern Hemisphere)
South Pole
WINTER (Southern Hemisphere)
When the north pole tilts toward the
sun, the south pole tilts away
So when it’s summer in the north,
it’s winter in the south
Equator
Tilt of the Earth’s axis towards or away from the sun
creates the seasons
Earth’s Seasons
When the north pole tilts away
from the sun, it gets less radiation –
So it’s colder during the winter
Earth
WINTER (Northern Hemisphere)
SUMMER (Southern Hemisphere)
When the north pole tilts away from the
sun, the south pole tilts toward it…
When it’s winter in the north,
it’s summer in the south
North Pole
South Pole
Equator
Common geographic boundaries relate directly
to Earth’s tilt
Where are the rainforests in the region?
Where are the bands of desert?
CONCLUSION:
Therefore, when the area is farther
from the equator, the air temperature
is lower(Cold). When the place is
closer to the equator, the air
temperature is higher(Warm).
As the latitude increases, the
greater the angle the sun’s
rays strike.

is located in Africa and found near
the equator. It stands 5,895m
above sea level. The peak of this
mountain is covered by ice. That’s
because the “air temperature
decreases as the altitude increases”.
MT.
KILIMANJA
RO
It has an annual average
temperature of 16oC. It has an
elevation of 1,435m above sea
level. “Air temperature decreases
as the altitude increases”.
BAGUIO
CITY
Lighter air cannot absorb much
heat, making air temperature
lower.
FOR EVERY 1000 M, THERE IS
A DROP OF 6.5 C. AT HIGHER
ELEVATIONS, THERE IS LESS
AIR. THE AIR
MOLECULES ARE FARTHER
APART, THUS MAKING THE
AIR LESS DENSE.
ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY:
1. ANALYZE THE POTENTIAL
CHALLENGES AND ADVANTAGES
OF HUMAN SETTLEMENT AT
HIGH ALTITUDES. CONSIDER
FACTORS SUCH AS
AGRICULTURE,
INFRASTRUCTURE AND
LIFESTYLE.

1. Which heats up faster?
2. Which cools faster?
3. Make a conclusion about the
relationship of distance from the
ocean and climate.
FACTORS THAT AFFECTS
CLIMATE
 Distance
from the
ocean
KEY
CONCEPTS
 Soil absorbs heat faster than water.
At the same time soil releases heat
faster than water.
 During daytime, the air above the
sea is colder than the air above the
land.
 During nighttime, warm air would
flow from sea to land, making the
temperature on land higher.
KEY
CONCEPTS
 Warm air moves out from land to sea,
slowing down the rise of air temperature
above land.
 Warm air then flows from sea to land, so
the drop in air temperature above ground is
moderated.
 Places that are near the oceans have
moderate climate as the body of water
regulates temperature.
Boracay Island
El Nido
Palawan
Siargao Island
Coron
Palawan
Dingalan
Aurora
CONCLUSIO
N
Places that are far from the bodies
of water have extreme climates,
as there are no bodies of water
that will help to circulate the
movement of cold air and
warm air.
EXAMPLE
 British Isles has an average maximum
temperature of 17 ˚C and minimum of 0 ˚C .
 Moscow has an average maximum
temperature of 21 ˚C and minimum of -8 ˚C .

5. What factor is the cause of low

FACTORS THAT AFFECTS
CLIMATE
 Topography
FACTORS THAT AFFECTS
CLIMATE
 Topography means
the features (such as
mountains and rivers)
in an area of land.
Leeward Side
Windward Side
WINDWARD OR LEEWARD?
KEY
CONCEPTS
 The area in which the wind
blows is called the Windward
Side. Here, the winds blocked
by the mountain, forcing it to
move upward. This will result
in precipitation on the
windward side.
KEY
CONCEPTS
 The air moves down towards
the opposite region called the
Leeward Side. The cold air
mass starts to absorb heat and
becomes warm and dry. As a
result, the area becomes dry
and has less precipitation.
KEY
CONCEPTS
Therefore, the windward side
area experienced cold weather
mostly because of precipitation
than on the leeward side.
OTHER FACTOR THAT
AFFECTS CLIMATE
 OCEAN CURRENTS
 OCEAN
CURRENTS
is the temperature
of the water in the
ocean.
In the northern
hemisphere, the current
flows in clockwise
direction.
In the southern
hemisphere, current
flows in counter-
clockwise direction.
ACT. 5 OCEAN CURRENTS
Study the map below
Ocean Currents that
flows away from the
equator, carries warm
water.
Ocean Currents that
moves towards the
equator, carries cold
water.
ACT. 5
1. Give 3 ocean currents that
carries warm water.
2. Give 3 ocean currents that
carries cold water.
3. How do ocean currents
affect climate?
