What I need to know
This module was designed and written for you. It is here to help you master the concept
of the formation of typhoons and their movement within the PAR. The scope of this module
permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the
diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond
with the textbook you are now using.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
to explain how typhoon develops and how it is affected by landmasses and bodies of
water.(NO MELCs Code)
And, specifically you are to:
1. Explain how tropical cyclones form;
2. Explain how typhoons develop;
3. Describe the factors that affect a typhoon

Our country is located near the equator surrounded by the bodies of water which favor
the formation of a tropical cyclone it is one of the most destructive disasters known to man.
It is one of the Earth's strongest forces, a combination of strong, howling winds and
heavy precipitation. Typhoons that enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility become more
frequent and violent, causing great damage and loss to many lives and properties.
But how does this force of nature form? How do typhoons develop? What are some
factors that affect a typhoon? These are some of the important questions that you will seek
to answer in this module.

Let’s Recall!
Activity 1
Directions: Label and draw a line to match the parts of the layers of the atmosphere to its
description.
A B
1. the region of the Earth's atmosphere
between the troposphere and
mesosphere. It has no clouds and is
marked by gradual temperature
increase.
2. layer of the earth's atmosphere
where site of all weather on the earth
3. the outermost region of the
atmosphere of Earth or another
planet
4. the layer of the Earth's atmosphere in
which temperature decreases rapidly,

https://pin.it/C2NPKQt

You have surely learned from your Grade 7

science that the troposphere (Figure 2 ) is a part of the
atmosphere where clouds are being formed. This layer
consists of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous
oxide, and others. These gases block some heat that is
radiated back from the ground. Through the process of
conduction and convection, heat is being transferred from
one placeFigure
to another.

Directions: Identify the name of the cyclone as it pass through the stages of progression
using the descriptions below. Write your answer in the box.

Stages of Progression (not arrange in order)

Tropical Disturbance
commonly exist in the tropical trade winds at any one time and are often accompanied by clouds and
precipitation
Typhoon, Hurricane, or Cyclone.
A pronounced rotation develops around the central core as spiral rain bands rotate around the eye of
the storm. The heaviest precipitation and strongest winds are associated with the eye wall.
Tropical Depression
The winds blow stronger due to the greater convergence that causes quicker decrease in the
pressure. It increases in speed sustaining one-minute winds up to 38 mph at an elevation of 10
meters.
Tropical Storm
The tropical storm receives an official name once sustained winds reach 39mph in the closed
circulation. The winds increase greatly and can take as little as a half day to as much as couple days

How does a typhoon can cease to intensify its tropical characteristics? Let’s answer activity number

What is it
What Kind of Air Causes the Formation of Typhoon?
In the warm, open seas just off the equator, the water is
considerably warmer; so is the air. The warm air helps the also-
warm water evaporate faster; and this hot, moist mass of air would
go up, following the basic tenet that "warm air goes up, cool air goes
down." (Figure 5)
Figure 5: Movement of Warm Air
Up in the air, the water vapor cools down and condenses,
https://www.weather.gov/jetstream/tc
and the heat is released back to the air; this heat makes the air
lighter, making it move further up.
It then triggers air from outside the system to go inward,
then upward, towards the system. This air flow helps more water
to evaporate, joining the clouds and precipitation already
massing up in the air.( Figure 6)
If the process continues, energy and precipitation accumulate
further, and the winds speed up. Once the winds reach a certain speed,
Figure 6: Wind moves in a spiral pattern
it then becomes a tropical cyclone. https://www.weather.gov/jetstream/tc
The movement of the Earth also affects this process: the wind,
instead of moving in straight lines, moves in a spiral pattern due to the
so-called Coriolis Effect. This causes the easily-identifiable, spiraling
cloud systems we see in satellite photos.( Figure 7)
The word tropical cyclone is composed of two distinct words
that completely describe its characteristic. The term “tropical” refers to
its geographical starting point, which is usually hot and humid; whereas
“cyclone” is a meteorological term which refers to its cyclonic circulation Figure 7: Spiralling cloud system
where the strong winds in the Northern Hemisphere circulate counter –
https://blogs.nasa.gov/hurricanes/tag/vayu-
clockwise and clockwise in Southern Hemisphere. 2019/
How a tropical cyclone is called differs based on where it formed.
In the northwest Pacific it is called a typhoon; in the southwest Pacific
and in the Indian Ocean, it is a cyclone; and in the eastern Pacific and
in the Atlantic, it is a hurricane.
Though a tropical cyclone is known in different names, it has
a uniform procedure of how it is formed or developed. Among other
tropical cyclones, we often heard the word typhoon and hurricane in the Figure 8: Tropical cyclone formation
weather reports. Here, in the Philippines, we use typhoon or “ bagyo”. https://courses.lumenleraning.com

How tropical cyclones form into a storm?

The tropical cyclone undergoes a process of development called tropical cyclogenesis. This
process involves several requirements, which if met, will lead to the formation of a storm.
(Figure 8 )
• Warm ocean surface with temperature of 26.5 OC to a depth of at least 50 meters
below the surface, which is favorable environment to maintain a “ warm core”
that powers up a tropical typhoon
 Presence of Intertropical Convergence Zone ( ITCZ)
• Greater amount of water vapour in the air (high humidity) in the middle to lower
levels of the troposphere)
• Enough Coriolis force to deflect the converging wind which is at least 50 of latitude
from the equator, causing cyclonic rotation and sustaining a low pressure center
• A pre-existing low level disturbance or the merging of smaller circulations within the
ITCZ
• Weak vertical wind shear that is less than 10m/s
Where Tropical Cyclones Originate?

Most tropical cyclones occur in the area where the

Northeasterly and Southeasterly trade winds converge. This area is
called ITCZ or Intertropical Convergence Zone, circulating near the
equator, and it is known for its lowest surface pressure, where the
converging air ascends ( causing “ low-pressure” on Earth’s surface), Figure 9: Location of storm determines
condenses and strengthens into sufficiently strong tropical how it spins
disturbances. Normally from June
to November, the ITCZ oscillates over the Philippines which triggers the formation of cumulonimbus
cloud leading to prevalent rain showers, and the most of the time, thunderstorm in the country. Figure
9)

As you have learned from activity number 4, the lowest pressure is at Adapted from Science Links 8- Revised
the eye of a tropical cyclone. In fact, all tropical cyclones have low air Edition
pressure at the center. Different parts of a tropical cyclone are:
• Eye –is the area of lowest atmospheric pressure, with diameter
which may span 20-65 km wide, winds are weak, the
temperature is warm, and the sky is clear-everything is calm.
• Eye wall –the region immediately surrounding the eye, brings Figure 10: Parts of a Typhoon
the strongest winds, heavy rains and turbulence
https://worldlywise.pbworks.com/f/127158471
• Rain bands - spiraling strips of clouds associated with rainfall. 8/crosssection.gif
Table 1: Tropical Cyclone Categories
Category Maximum Wind Speed kilometer per
hour (kph)
Tropical Depression 64
Tropical Storm 118
Typhoon 200
Super Typhoon Greater than 200
In simple terms, a tropical cyclone is a system of thunderstorms that are moving around
a center. As the winds intensify or weaken, the category is upgraded or downgraded accordingly. You
will learn more about this in the next module.

Development of Typhoon
In order for the tropical cyclone to develop into typhoon, it must pass through the following
stages of progression:
Stage 1: Tropical Disturbance
A tropical disturbance is a discrete weather system of cloud,
showers, and thunderstorms, with an apparent circulation that originates
in the ocean in the tropical region, and remain intact for 24 hours or
more.
It has one type called tropical wave that develops about every 4
to 5 days then becomes a tropical storm or hurricane when
strengthened. It is sometimes called easterly winds or low pressure that Figure 10:Tropical Cyclone
normally moves from east to west. Disturbance
Adapted from Science Links 8- Revised Edition
Stage 2: Tropical Depression
The tropical wave or tropical disturbance then evolves into
tropical depression when the thunderstorms are slightly more
organized. As a result, a closed circulation of air in the low levels is
developed. The winds blow stronger due to the greater convergence
that causes quicker decrease in the pressure. It increases in speed
sustaining one-minute winds up to 38 mph at an elevation of 10 meters. Figure 11: Tropical Depression
Stage 3: Tropical Storm Adapted from Science Links 8- Revised Edition

The tropical storm receives an official name once sustained

winds reach 39mph in the closed circulation. The winds increase
greatly and can take as little as a half day to as much as couple days.
It has better organized thunderstorms and when viewed in the satellite,
it usually shows a recognizable pattern of rotation. It has more
concentrated convection near the center with outer organized rainfall
into distinct bands.
Figure 12: Tropical Storm
Adapted from Science Links 8- Revised Edition
Stage 4: Typhoon, Hurricane, or Cyclone
As the tropical storm grows more intense, it takes more
energy from its surroundings, it develops into a “ matured” tropical
cyclone which can obtained a one-minute wind of at least 74 mph at
an elevation of 10 meters. Its rotation is now more obvious when
viewed in the satellite. It may develop a circular area of calm winds
at the center of the storm called, eye. The eyes is where the lowest
pressure of the storm is found. If the typhoon continues to
strengthen, it can be upgraded to Super typhoon, which means it
exceeds the maximum sustained winds of 115 mph. Figure 13: Diagram of Tropical
Cyclone develop into Typhoon
Adapted from Science Links 8- Revised Edition
Factors affecting Typhoon

A typhoon can become stronger and be upgraded into a super typhoon as long as the
conditions continue to become favorable for the cyclone. However, despite of its destructive power, a
typhoon can cease to intensify its tropical characteristics due to several factors:
1. Cold waters
The absence of moisture from warm ocean waters means the absence of a
typhoon’s “fuel” source once it lacks its access to this kind of environment. typhoons
depend on warm water to maintain themselves but when the storm moves over cold
water, it loses its energy source, which is the evaporating water from ocean surface. it
weakens due to the deprivation of warm water by moving over bodies of water with a
temperature below 26.5 OC.
2. No Water
A typhoon will drastically deteriorate once its eye moves over land. The air over
land cools quickly due to specific heat causing the typhoon to quickly lose intensity.
3. Wind shear
Refers to the difference between the speed shear (wind speed) and its directional
shear over relatively a short distance within the atmosphere. The shear must be 20 knots
or less for intensification to happen. In most instances, the tropical cyclone intensifies
when the wind shear is 10 knots or less. High wind shear at several thousand feet from
the surface can remove the heat and moisture needed from the area near the center of
the typhoon, causing it to tear apart the storm in different direction and disrupting it.
