I. LESSON TITLE Interactions in the Atmosphere: The Sea and Land Breeze, the ITCZ and the
Philippine Monsoons
II. MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING Account for the occurrence of land and sea breezes, monsoons, and
COMPETENCIES (MELCs) intertropical convergence zone. (S7ES-IVf-7)
III. CONTENT/CORE CONTENT Quarter 4: Module 4: Solar Energy and the atmosphere
For this lesson, my challenge for you is to solve the mystery and find out what is the reason why we have different weather
disturbances in our country. Are you ready? Good luck on another journey, our brave, young scientist! Solve the mystery word
by guessing the hidden words of the number codes. (Coding example 1=A, B=2…)

Read carefully the concept below. Later you will answer some questions which will help you ponder some ideas about sea and
land breeze.

IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES
➢ THE ITCZ
The ITCZ, or InterTropical Convergence Zone, is a region of converging trade winds and rising air that circles the earth near the
Equator. The rising air produces increased cloudiness, frequent thunderstorms, and heavy rainfall. Our country has been
affected by ITCZ as this weather system brought cloudy skies with moderate to heavy rains and thunderstorms. Flooding
sometime occur due to the heavy rains brought about by the ITCZ. Landslide because of heavy rains also occurred. The ITCZ
position varies seasonally, as it follows the sun. It moves north in the Northern Hemisphere summer and south in the Northern
Hemisphere winter. This cause the wet and dry seasons in the tropical regions. The figure below shows the seasonal variability
of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).
➢ PHILIPPINE MONSOONS
MONSOON originated from the Arabic word mawsin which means season. In this natural phenomenon, there is a seasonal shift
or change in direction of the prevailing winds. As a result, these may bring change in season and weather of a certain place.
There are two types of monsoon, namely, the southwest and northeast monsoons.
The southwest monsoon or commonly known as Habagat gives us warm and humid trade winds that can cause heavy rains In
the Philippine this happens from June to October.
The northeast monsoon or commonly known as Amihan gives cold and dry weather that can cause light rains and cold
weather. . Cool and dry northeast wind coming from Siberia and China blows down to Southeast Asia. In the Philippines this
happens from December to February.
3. What is the relationship of the sea and land breeze to the temperature of an area?
Reflect on the images below. In your own view, how do weather disturbances affect the lives of the Filipino people?

Guide questions:
SEA BREEZE
▪ As the warm air over the land is rising, the cooler air over the ocean goes over the
land surface to replace the rising warm air.
▪ During the day, the land surface heats up faster than the water surface.
▪ The air above the land is warmer than the air above the ocean. Now, recall that
warmer air is lighter than cooler air.
▪ As a result, warm air rises.
LAND BREEZE
• The air on land quickly cools while the air on the water keeps its warmth.
• The cool breeze from the land is called a land breeze.
• The air on the water becomes warmer, less dense and begins to rise.
• Cold and denser air over the land begins to transfer to the water surface to replace the
warmer rising air.
Let us test if you already understand the lesson about Philippine monsoons. Fill in the blanks to complete the statements below.
Good luck!
