AFTERNOON!
What is Climate?
---it is the general average condition
of the atmosphere in a certain area
over a long period of time.
How is Climate
differ from
Weather?
 WEATHER CLIMATE
refers to a small area vs. involves large area
short period long period
change from time doesn’t change
to time
every place has a same climate within
each area (e.g tropical)
different weather
conditions.
Factors that
affect
CLIMATE
1. LATITUDE
---is the measurement of distance north or south of the
equator.
CLIMATE ZONES
 1. How much is the
tilt of the Earth’s
axis?

2. Which part of the Earth receives most of

the sun’s rays?
 3. Why does the
amount of heat
received by places
far from the equator
become less?
4. Why are the coldest places on Earth
found near the poles?
 5. Why are places
with high
temperature found
at the equator?

6. How does latitude affect climate?

2. ALTITUDE
---like elevation or height, is the distance above sea level.
 Name of Place Elevation above Sea Annual Average
Level (m) Temperature (°C)
BACOLOD 10m 27.5°
BAGUIO 1400m 16.0°
LAOAG 20m 27.3°
MANILA 10m 27.7°
TACLOBAN 20m 29.4°
TAGAYTAY 640m 22.7°
ZAMBOANGA 30m 27.6°

1. Which place is the coldest?

2. Which place is the hottest?
 Name of Place Elevation above Sea Annual Average
Level (m) Temperature (°C)
BACOLOD 10m 27.5°
BAGUIO 1400m 16.0°
LAOAG 20m 27.3°
MANILA 10m 27.7°
TACLOBAN 20m 29.4°
TAGAYTAY 640m 22.7°
ZAMBOANGA 30m 27.6°

3. Based on the data, what is the relationship

between altitude and temperature of a place?
3. WATER BODIES
-distance from the sea.
Which heats up faster, water or soil?
4. TOPOGRAPHY
---is the physical or natural features of a land.
 5. OCEAN
CURRENTS
---sea water is
flowing from one
place to another.
1. What are the
different ocean
currents that
carry warm
water? Give at
least three.
 2. What are the
different ocean
currents that
carry cold water?
Give at least
three.
3. What kind of
air does North
Atlantic Current
take along?
Explain.
4. What kind of
air does North
Atlantic Current
take along?
Explain.
5. How do ocean
currents affect
climate?
Again, what are
the factors that
affect climate?
