A. They make the Earth cooler.
B. They keep all the air within the Earth.
C. They block harmful radiation from reaching the Earth.
D. They let sunlight pass through the atmosphere, but they prevent the heat that
the sunlight brings from leaving the atmosphere.
DISCUSSION
The great mass of air that envelops Earth’s surface and is held in place by the planet’s
gravitational force is called the atmosphere. This part of Earth is composed of a different mixture of
gases: 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, and other trace amounts of inert
gases. Our atmosphere has been responsible for the development and protection of life on our planet.
However, most scientist agree that the composition of the atmosphere is gradually changing because of
human activities, and these changes might eventually lead to other changes in Earth.

REMEMBER
 The Earth’s atmosphere is composed of five different layers: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere,
thermosphere and exosphere.
 The atmosphere also keeps heat from leaving Earth’s surface at night, distributes heat and water over
Earth, acts as medium of transport and transmission, and serves as medium for exchange of
gases. It also transmits sound waves and makes various weather phenomena possible.
 The atmosphere is composed of different mixtures of gases, water vapor, dust, and other minute solid
particles that are essential in the formation of clouds.
 The exchange of heat energy between the Sun, Earth, and space establishes the balance of energy,
such that the solar radiation that comes from the Sun is also sent back to the atmosphere from
Earth.

Since Global warming is the increase of average temperatures on Earth (about 1°C), caused by massive
industrial activity since the 19th century. 1°C does not seem like a large increase, but it actually represents a big
disruption in global atmospheric and oceanic cycles, and causes a significant sea-level rise.
Based from the picture above, write an essay about ways to prevent the above situations to happen on

d. ITCZ is the air from the east of the prime meridian and air from the west
DISCUSSION
During day time, both land and sea are heated by the sun. But the land heats up faster than
the sea. The air above land becomes warm and rises. Rising air helps form clouds, then cooler air
sinks which spreads along the surface. The air moves from high pressure to low pressure and
creates wind. The moving of air or wind from the sea to the land is called sea breeze.
During nighttime, the land and sea both cool down but the land cools down faster than the
sea. The air above the sea will then be warmer than the air above land. The air above the sea will
rise, and air over land will move toward the place where warm air is rising. Rising air helps form
clouds, then cooler air sinks. Air moves from high to low pressure and created wind. The moving
air or wind from land to the sea is called a land breeze.
Monsoons are commonly mistaken for rains. But monsoons are winds. Like sea and land

breeze, warm air rises, and the surrounding air move in toward the place where warm air
is rising. Sea and land breezes alternate on a day-night cycle, and locally along with
coastal areas while the monsoons occur from season to season and affect a much wider
area, including large bodies of water and land.
Air pressure is the weight of the air above a certain place. In places where warm air is rising,
the air pressure is low (where the air is light and less dense) In contrast, a high-pressure
area is a place where cool air is sinking.
There are two types of monsoons. From October to March, is a cool and dry Northeast
monsoon (Amihan) with cirrus clouds, light rains, and cold weather because it comes
from cold areas such as Siberia and Mongolia, in the Asian continent.Thatmeans the low-
pressure area is now moving to south.From July to September, the Southwest monsoon
(Habagat) and which is characterized by hot and humid weather frequently with cumulus
clouds and heavy rainfall. That means the low-pressure area is no longer in the south, this
time it is located in the north. Both Northeast monsoon (Amihan) and Southwest
monsoon (Habagat) bring rain to the Philippines. This is because the wind passes over

CAMARIN HIGH SCHOOL
Caloocan City

bodies of water, which supply a lot of moisture. The Northeast passes over the Pacific
Ocean. Southwest passes over the Indian Ocean and South China Sea (West Philippine
Sea) before it arrives in our country.
There are different air pressures in different countries, at different times, throughout the year. Air temperature also
varies based on geographical location. The more direct the sun’s rays are, the warmer it gets. Because of varying pressure
and temperature, air moves around the world from high pressure areas to low pressure areas. As it circulates, it causes
atmospheric conditions in different regions of the world. One of which is the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). As
the term suggests, this event happens among the tropical regions (intertropical) and it is caused by converging winds from
two opposing directions (convergence).
The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is a region characterized by belt of clouds encircling the Earth near the
equator (as shown in Figure 4). Why are clouds densely formed near the Earth’s equator?
3 learned before that the temperature near the equator is warmer compared to regions of higher altitude as sun’s rays
We
directly hit areas near the equator on noontime as seen in Figure 5. As air becomes warmer, it rises causing low pressure.
The surrounding air moves in as a result.
As the surrounding cooler air from north and south areas moves near the equator, they meet and converge. The result of
which is the ITCZ. Meanwhile, the rising warm air humidifies as it collects moisture. As it rises, it cools and expands,

CAMARIN HIGH SCHOOL
Caloocan City
SCIENCE 7

thereby formation of clouds along this region results to thunderstorms. Because of this event, ITCZ is often associated
with heavy downpour of rain. Since ITCZ is prominent in tropical regions such as in the Philippines, we experience more
rains than the other parts of the region throughout the year. Figure 6 illustrates how ITCZ occurred based on the behavior
of the air near the equator and its interaction with surrounding winds.
