Hurricanes
- are tropical storms that form over the
North Atlantic Ocean and Northeast Pacific.
Cyclones
- are formed over the South Pacific and
Indian Ocean.
Typhoons
- are formed over the Northwest Pacific
Ocean.
PRESSURE
- the continuous physical force exerted on or
against an object by something in contact with it.
LOW PRESSURE AREA
– warm air rises and the area it vacates.
HIGH PRESSURE AREA
– cool air sinks and the area occupies.
HUMIDITY
- a quantity representing the amount of water
vapor in the atmosphere or a gas.
GUIDE QUESTIONS:

1. What is a typhoon?
2. Where do typhoon Yolanda
develops?
3. What is the classification of typhoon
Yolanda based on the news video?
TYPHOON
 also called “Tropical
Cyclone”.
 an intense circular
storm that originates
over warm tropical
oceans.
 characterized by low
atmospheric pressure,
high winds, and heavy
rain.
MAIN PARTS OF A TYPHOON

1. EYE
2. EYE WALL
3. RAIN BANDS
ear

THE EYE
- center of the tropical
cyclone
- calm part of the typhoon
- clear area of sinking air
and lights winds that
usually do not exceed 24
kph
- roughly circular area,
typically 30–65 kilometers
in diameter.
ear

EYEWALL
- Band of clouds that
surrounds the eye
- Having most
violent winds and
heaviest rainfall
- Force winds are
greater than 118
kph
ear

RAINBANDS
- Curved bands
of clouds
- Rainfall may be
light to
moderate and
wind speed are
up to 62 kph.
How do typhoons
develop?
How Typhoons develop?
CONDITIONS:
- Temperature of the ocean must be
26.5°C or greater.
- High humidity
- Atmospheric instability
- Enough Coriolis effect to develop a
rotating low-pressure center
How Typhoons develop?
PROCESSS INVOLVE:
1. Evaporation of water at ocean surface
temperature of 26.5°C.
2. Warm air rises toward the cooler parts of the
atmosphere, it cools off and the water vapor
begins to form clouds.
3. Winds collect moisture and rise, while colder
air moves in below. This creates pressure, which
causes the winds to move very quickly.
How Typhoons develop?

ACTIVITY
Shown below are the tracks (paths) of
four tropical cyclones that entered the
PAR in the past years. The tracks were
plotted by PAGASA. Study and analyze the
maps.
Guide Questions:
1. Where did the
tropical cyclone
form? On land or in
the ocean?
2. What can you tell
about the track of
the typhoon in 2003-
2004?
3. In what direction
did the tropical
cyclone move?
Guide Questions:

4. Which part of
the Philippines was
hit by the four
tropical cyclones?
5. In the case of
Agaton, Yoyong,
and Huaning, where
did they die out?
Near land or in the
middle of the
ocean?
Why is the Philippines
prone to typhoon?
Philippine Area of Responsibility
(PAR)

- is an area in the Northwestern


Pacific where PAGASA, the
Philippines' national
meteorological agency monitors
weather occurrences.
