B. Performance Standards
C. Learning Competencies/ Code:
Specific Objectives 1. Differentiate weather and climate;
2. Identify and describe the various factors that affect climate; and
3. Explain its impact on different regions of the world.
II. CONTENT
A. Subtopic Factors Affecting Climate
B. Concepts Weather – the condition of the atmosphere at a given time
Climate – the average condition of a region over a long period of time
Factors Affecting Climate
Distance from the Ocean. Places along coast are cooler and wetter
than inland areas.
Latitude. The farther the place from the equator the cooler the
temperature. Climates in the regions where sun’s rays hit
indirectly are always cool or cold.
Prevailing Winds. Warm air rises and cold air sinks. The
warmer winds that blow near the equator rise and move towards
the poles of the Earth. The colder wind from the poles sinks and
moves towards the equator.
Sea Breeze – occurs during the day, when the wind blows from
the water to land
Land Breeze – the wind that blows from land toward the water
at night
Landforms.There are more rainfall in mountains than in low
lying areas. The higher the place above sea level the lower the
temperature.
El Niño and La Niña. El Niño forms when warmer water
pushes energy and moisture in the atmosphere, causing changes
in global wind and rainfall patterns. This brings about severe
drought due to absence of rain. La Niña brings severe flood due
to heavy rains. This is due to the winds from the East which
becomes so strong cooling more of the Pacific.
Human Intervention. As the population of humans increase
there is a need to cut down large number of trees for human
consumption.
