I. OBJECTIVES:
Explain how latitude, altitude, and distance from the ocean affect climate.

II. MATERIAL: World and Philippine map, ruler

III. PROCEDURE:
1. Identify the two warmest and coldest cities in the table. Determine what affects the regional temperature for
each city.
Table 1.World City Temperatures
TEMPERATURE (OC)
CITY ALTITUDE (m)
High Low
Paris 30 23 18
Beijing 43.7 24 11
Cairo 74.7 31 22
Berlin 36 15 2
Denver 1609.3 7 -3
Manila 13.1 30 26
Tokyo 20.1 21 18
Vienna 19.1 -1 -6
Warsaw 110 11 -1

2. Construct a scatter graph based on the data above. (y axis = Temperature and x axis = Elevation)
Table 2: Different Cities in the Philippines and Their Annual Average Temperature
NAME OF PLACE ELEVATION ABOVE SEA LEVEL (m) ANNUAL AVE. TEMPERATURE (oC)
