1. ZONE A (Tropical or
Equatorial) -

18°C.
2. ZONE B (Arid or Dry)

colors. Precipitation is
deficient during most of
the year, resulting to a
constant water

3. ZONE C (Temperate
or Mesothermal) –
represented by green
colors. The winters are
mild. The coldest month
has an average
temperature of below
18°C but above -3°C.
4. ZONE D (Continental
or Microthermal) -
represented by violet,
purple, and light blue
colors. The winters are
severe. The coldest
month has an average
temperature less than -
3°C and the warmest
monthly temperature
exceeds 10°C.
5. ZONE E (Polar) –

Factors Affecting
Climate

1) Latitude- are

parallel to the Earth’s Presentation
equator. It describes
the distance of the
 land area to the
equator. Areas near
the equator receives
direct solar energy PPT
which significantly Presentation
affect the climate
experienced on the
area compared to
regions that are far
from the equator
which only receives
less amount of sun’s
energy.
2) Altitude- this refers
to the height above
sea level. Locations
with higher altitudes
experiences colder
temperatures as to
areas near the sea
level.
3) Distance from
Large Bodies of
Water- ocean waters
regulates the
temperature of
nearby lands or
coastal areas.
Ocean waters act as
heat sink which
absorbs the heat
from the sun causing
lower temperature in
coastal areas.
4) Ocean Currents-
Ocean waters are
constantly moving
due to ocean
currents. Warm
ocean currents bring
warm water from the
tropic zone to the
polar zones and cold
ocean current brings
cold waters from the
polar zones to the
tropic zone.
Basically, the
surface of water
warms or cools the
air above it. Warm
currents bring warm
air, while cold
 currents brings cold
air. These
phenomenon
increases or PPT
decreases the Presentation
temperature in a
region.
5) Prevailing Winds-
this refers to the
usual wind direction
of an area or region.
The wind carries air
masses from one
place to another.
These air masses
contains different
amounts of water
vapor which dictates
the amount of
precipitation an area
will get.
6) Mountain Ranges-
are series of hills or
mountains. These
blocks the path of
the prevailing winds
hence, when these
winds blows toward
the mountain
ranges, the rising
warm air is forced to
rise up. Then, at
higher altitudes,
these warm air cools
down causing the
water vapor to
condense and pour
as a rain.

I believe that is already

proceed to the next
concept on this lesson.

Global Climate
Phenomenon

Climate change is the PPT

global phenomenon of Presentation
climate transformation
characterized by the
changes in the usual
climate of the planet that
are especially caused
by anthropogenic
activities. One of the
climatic phenomena that
occurs in the global level
is Global Warming.

warming?

Effects of Climate
Change

 Change in rain and

snow patterns
 Changing animal
migration pattern
and life cycles
 Melting snow and ice
caps
 Thawing permafrost
 Stronger storms
 Higher temperatures
and heat waves
 More droughts and
wildfires
 Damaged corals
 Rising sea level
 Warmer oceans
 Changing plant life
cycles
 Acid rain

Ways to Reduce

 Reducing the use of

fossil fuels PPT
 Use of renewable Presentation

sources
 Stop deforestation
 Plant more trees
 Reduce water, soil
and air pollution

ways, how can you help practical ways or

Generalization

For today’s lesson we

have learned a lot
starting from the
different climate zones,
the factors that affects
climate, and the causes
and effect of climate
change and how can we
cope up with the present
situation that we are in.
To conclude our lesson The students will read

for our beloved Mother
Earth.

Thank you for your

active participation. Thank you, Sir.
