4. The Sun shines more directly near the
equator bringing these areas more
warmth. However, the polar regions
are at such an angle to the Sun that
they get is little or no sunlight during
the winter, causing colder
temperatures. These differences in
temperature create a restless
movement of air and water in great
swirling currents to distribute heat
energy from the Sun across the
planet.
Introduction
5. When air in one region is
warmer than the surrounding
air, it becomes less dense and
begins to rise, drawing more
air in underneath. Elsewhere,
cooler denser air sinks,
pushing air outward to flow
along the surface and
complete the cycle.
6. What is WEATHER?
• the hour to hour, day to day
change in the atmosphere.
7. What is CLIMATE?
• the average weather conditions
of a place taken over a long
time.
8. > The difference between
weather and climate is a
measure of time.
9. How do we measure
weather?
Cloud Cover
Temperature
Sunshine
Wind

Precipitation
Measuring a Weather
11. Cumulus Clouds
are the puffy clouds that look like puffs of
cotton. Cumulus clouds that do not get very tall
are indicators of fair weather. If they do grow
tall, they can turn into thunderstorms. The
bottom of cumulus clouds are fairly close to the
ground.
12. Status Clouds
look like flat sheets of clouds. These clouds can
mean an overcast day or steady rain. They may
stay in one place for several days.
13. Cirrus Clouds
are high feathery clouds.
They are up so high they are
actually made of ice
particles. They are indicators
of fair weather when they
are scattered in a clear blue
sky.
26. TROPICAL CYCLONE
A Tropical Cyclone (known as
“Bagyo” in the Philippines) is the
global generic term for an intense
circulating weather system over
tropical seas and oceans.
Tropical Cyclone
27. TOPICAL CYCLONE CATEGORY
There are four (4) classifications of
tropical cyclone based mainly on its
strength or maximum sustained winds
(based on 1-minute or 10-minute
average):
*Tropical Depression
*Tropical Storm
*Typhoon
*Super Typhoon

The atmosphere surrounding our planet Earth sustains life and affects our lives in inumerable ways. It contains life-supporting oxygen and limits the effects of radiation from the Sun. The Sun shines more directly near the equator bringing these areas more warmth. However, the polar regions are at such an angle to the Sun that they get little or no sunlight during the winter, causing colder temperatures. These differences in temperature create a restless movement of air and water in great swirling currents to distribute heat energy from the Sun across the planet. When air in one region is warmer than the surrounding air, it becomes less dense and begins to rise, drawing more air in underneath. Elsewhere, cooler denser air sinks, pushing air outward to flow along the surface and complete the cycle.
