D. Lesson Proper
Factors Affecting Climate
Latitude
LATITUDE
- an imaginary line that is parallel to the
equator
As the latitude increases, the smaller the
angle the sun’s rays strike the surface.The
closer the place is to the equator, the warmer
the climate; the farther the place is from the
equator the colder the climate.

Altitude
ALTITUDE
- the height above sea level.
The air temperature decreases as the altitude
increases.
Places with higher elevations have cold
climates
Ocea OCEAN CURRENTS
Ocean currents will either cool or warm the air
above them.
Cold currents bring cold water while warm
currents take along warm water.
Coriolis Effect deflects the ocean currents.
Ocean current affects the temperature of the
nearby land mass. Warm currents move from
the equator towards poles carry warm water.
On the other hand, cold currents travel from
the poles towards the equator carry cold
water.

 Oceanic gyres
a large system of circular ocean currents
formed by global wind patterns and forces
created by Earth's rotation.

a. Activity
Individual activity
Instruction: In a 1/4 sheet of paper.Answer directly.
Choose only 1 issue concerning about climate change. Explain it with 2-3 sentence only.
b. Analysis
1. Why do we need to know the effects of climate change?
2. What are the things to consider to avoid the effects of climate?
c. Abstraction
TopogrT TOPOGRAPHY
-the surface features of an area
Mountain ranges affect the formation of
precipitation.
Most wind coming from the sea flow up the
mountain. Because temperature falls with
altitude, water vapor eventually condenses
and there is precipitation. Since this is the
side of the mountain facing the wind, it is
called windward side.
Formation of the clouds in the windward side
of the mountain is caused by the
 Windward - the side of the mountain that receives
condensation of water vapor.
most of the precipitation
 Leeward - the side of the mountain that receives
less amount of precipitation.

Precipitation
product of the condensation of atmospheric
water vapor that falls under gravity, include
drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, graupel and hail.

d. Application
(Group Activity)
The teacher will divide the students into 5 groups.
Instruction: On a 1 long bond paper. Construct a slogan about “climate issue”.
E. Generalization
1. Why do we need to know the factors affecting climate ?
2. How climate affects our daily lives?
III. Evaluation
Instruction:
In a 1/4 sheet of paper. Read carefully and answer directly the following questions.
 1. It is the overall atmospheric condition of a place for a period of 30 years or more.
2. It is the condition of the atmosphere at a specific place and time.
3. It is influenced by the latitude, altitude,distance from bodies of water, ocean currents and topography.
4. It is a product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity.
5. It is the surface features of an area
6. It is the side of the mountain that receives most of the precipitation
7. It is the side of the mountain that receives less amount of precipitation.
8. It is an imaginary line that is parallel to the equator.
9. It is the height above sea level.
10. It affects the temperature of the nearby land mass.
Answer key:
1. Climate
