long quiz for science 9 factors affecting climate

1. I. Directions: Write TRUE if
the statement is correct
and FALSE if otherwise..

2. 1.Weather is a condition of
the atmosphere at a
particular place over a
short period of time.

3. 2.Places near the equator are
experiencing colder climate
than places far from the
equator

4. 3.The climate in Baguio and
Tagaytay are colder than the
climate in Manila and Laoag.

5. 4. Leeward side of the
mountain is more suitable for
vegetation than its windward
side.

6. 5. For every 2000 m, there is a
drop of 6.50C. At higher
elevation, there is less air. The
air molecules are farther apart,
thus making the air less dense.

7. II – IDENTIFICATION
Directions: Identity what is being
asked on the following question.

8. 6. It is a general
pattern of weather that
occurs over a long period
of time.

9. 7. It is the dry
region on the leeward
side.

10. 8.______ it refers to the
elevation of a place above
sea level.

11. 9._______ it is the
measurement of distance
north and south of the
equator.

12. 10. _______ The area in which
the wind blows. Here, the
wind is blocked by the
mountain, forcing it to move
upward.
