    LESSON 2.

    CLIMATE
    Grade 9 ACTIVITY SHEET.
    MARCH 14, 2023

    READ THE DRIECTION CAREFULLY!

    DIRECTION: REFER TO THE TABLE BELOW AND ANALYZE THE DATA.


    YOU CAN EITHER PRINT THIS ACTIVITY SHEET OR YOU CAN COPY IT AND PUT YOUR ANSWERS IN YOUR
    NOTEBOOKS. WE WILL CHECK IT TOMORROW.

    ACTIVITY 1. HOW ALTITUDE AFFECTS THE CLIMATE?

    Questions:
    1. Which city had the highest temperature?
    -The city that had the highest temperature as of October 2020 was Manila.

    2. What factor do you think is the cause of high temperature in that city?
    -I believe that the factor causing the high temperature in Manila is the altitude.
    Because according to the table given above, the altitude of Manila is 13.1
    meters, making it the lowest altitude of all other cities. With its low altitude, this
    city absorbs more heat energy from the sun than any of the other cities listed
    above. Furthermore, the air is under more pressure at lower altitudes, causing it to
    contract and heat up.

    3. Which city had the lowest temperature?


    -The city that had the lowest temperature as of October 2020 was Denver.

    4. What factor do you think is the cause of low temperature in that city?
    -I believe that just like Manila city, the factor causing the low temperature in
    Denver is the altitude. Because according to the table given above, the altitude of
    Denver is 1609.3 meters, making it the highest altitude of all other cities. With its
    high altitude, this city absorbs less heat energy from the sun than any of the other
    cities listed above. Furthermore, air at higher altitudes is under less pressure than
    air at lower altitudes because of the lighter weight of the air above, so it expands
    and cools off.

    5. What factor do you think greatly. (Weather Atlas n.d) affects the climate of
    Tokyo? Support your answer.
    -I believe the factors that greatly affect the climate of Tokyo are its altitude,
    latitude, and location near a body of water. Because according to the table given
    above, the city of Tokyo has an altitude of 20.1 meters, and a lower altitude means
    a higher temperature, but along with altitude is latitude. Because of Japan's
    latitude, it receives just enough sunlight, and so despite having a lower altitude, it
    is able to maintain a temperate climate. Furthermore, Japan's location near a body
    of water made the climate moderate because bodies of water help distribute and
    regulate the temperature. The closer a region is to a body of water, the more
    moderate the climate is. This is also why Japan experiences four seasons.

    6. How does the elevation of Manila affects its climate?


    -In elevation, temperature normally decreases as elevation or height increases,
    making locations at higher elevations colder. In Manila's case, since it has an
    elevation of 13.1 meters, it is more likely for this city to experience hot
    temperatures than cold temperatures. And as I mentioned in my answer to Question
    2, Manila absorbs more heat energy from the sun, causing it to experience a 30.9-
    degree Celsius high temperature and only a 24.3-degree Celsius low temperature.
    Questions:

    1. What are those specific places/areas with Type I climate? Type II climate? Type
    III? And Type IV? Name at least 5 for each type?
    -Areas that are experiencing climate I are the western part of Luzon, Mindoro,
    Negros, and Palawan. Areas that are experiencing climate II are Catanduanes,
    Sorsogon, the eastern part of Albay, the eastern and northern parts of Camarines
    Norte and Sur, the eastern part of Samar, and large portions of eastern Mindanao.
    Areas that are experiencing climate III are the western part of Cagayan, Isabela,
    parts of northern Mindanao, and most of eastern Palawan. And lastly, areas that are
    experiencing climate IV are Batanes, Northeastern Luzon, Southwest Camarines
    Norte, West of Camarines Sur, Albay, Northern Cebu, Bohol, and most of Central,
    Eastern, and Southern Mindanao.

    2. Why do we have different patterns of rainfall distribution here in the


    Philippines? -We have different patterns of rainfall distribution here in the
    Philippines, for it depends on the direction of the moisture-bearing winds, which
    are influenced by the topographic features we have in our country and also the
    ocean currents in the surrounding bodies of water.

    3. Which factor affects each of the four types of climate based on rainfall
    distribution in the Philippines?
    -The factor that I believe affects each of the four types of climate based on the
    rainfall distribution in the Philippines is the topography. Topography describes the
    physical or natural features of an area of land, which is a factor influencing the
    wind patterns and weather patterns, including the precipitation in certain places.

    4. How do mountain ranges and coastal areas affect the pattern of rainfall
    distribution in some areas of the Philippines?
    -Mountain ranges and coastal areas affect the pattern of rainfall distribution
    because, as what I've stated in question number 3, topography influences wind
    patterns and weather patterns, and mountain ranges and coastal areas are just two
    of those. Because mountain ranges block the wind, it is forced to move upward.
    This causes water vapor to condense and form clouds, which then lead to
    precipitation. But, also, because mountain ranges block winds, this results in the
    other side of the mountain warming and drying up. Because as the wind moves it
    encounters mountain ranges, some of the wind is blocked and some is able to pass
    through the mountain, which then, as it moves, also absorbs heat. This explains
    why some parts of the Philippines experience precipitation and some do not. For
    coastal areas, they are responsible for the formation of most typhoons because of
    how molecules in bodies of water are heated and can easily evaporate. The formed
    typhoons are then carried by prevailing winds, and in our country they are named
    hanging Amihan and hanging Habagat. This explains why areas of Catanduanes,
    Sorsogon, the eastern part of Albay, the eastern and northern parts of Camarines
    Norte and Sur, the eastern part of Samar, and large portions of eastern Mindanao,
    Luzon, Mindoro, Negros, and Palawan are pronounced to experience rainfall.
