FACTORS OF A
WEATHER
BY: Maicel Meraveles
FACTORS OF WEATHER
TEMPERATURE – is a physical quantity that expresses quantitatively the perceptions of
hotness and coldness.
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE – is the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as
gravity pulls it to Earth.
WIND – is the natural movement of air or other gases relative to a planet’s surface.
HUMIDITY – is the amount of water vapor in the air.
PRECIPITATION – is any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls
back to the Earth.
CLOUD COVER – also helps to regulate the temperature that occurs in a region.

FACTORS OF TEMPERATURE &
PRECIPITATION
FOR temperature: the latitude increases north or south of the equator, the
temperature decreases. The latitudinal position of a country, or its distance
from the equator, and the Earth’s axial tilt define its climate.
FOR precipitation: mountains influences precipitation in two ways: the
orographic effect and the rainshadow effect.
Orographic effect refers to the dynamics of air and precipitation on the
windward slope of mountains, while the rainshadow effect occurs on the
leeward slope of mountains, which is generally dry and receive only less rain
called rain shadow.

TYPES OF WEATHER
THERE are six primary different types of weather that can occur:
sunny, rainy cloudy, stormy, snowy and windy.
However, many of these types of weather can overlap and occur at the
same time and these weathers are influenced by sunshine, precipitation,
wind and humidity.
SUNNY – a season that has very little and
sometimes no existing clouds at all.
RAINY – season where long period of
rain in a single day or week happens.
STORMY – season that has dark clouds,
strong winds, thunder, lightning and rain.
CLOUDY – a season that has no sunshine
at all but is rainless.
SNOWY - Snow is white and gray, part and whole, infinitely various yet
infinitely repetitious, soft and hard, frozen and melting, a creaking
underfoot and a soundlessness.
WINDY – the official classification of a
windy season is between 20 and 30 mph.

WHAT IS CLIMATE &
CLIMATE CHANGE?

WHAT IS CLIMATE & CLIMATE
CHANGE?
CLIMATE is the cumulative pattern of weather in a particular place. It
is influenced by air temperature and the amount of precipitation.
CLIMATE CHANGE on the other hand, can lead to the emergence of
diseases, the dislocation of populations, extreme weather and natural
calamities, and lower soil productivity.
DIFFERENCES OF CLIMATE
CHANGE & WEATHER

DIFFERENCES OF CLIMATE
CHANGE & WEATHER
WEATHER is the state of the atmosphere with respect to heat or cold,
wetness or dryness, calm or storm, clearness or cloudiness. It is also a
state or vicissitude of life or fortune and disagreeable atmospheric
conditions: such as rain and storm.
While climate is the long-term average of weather, typically averaged
over a period of 30 years. More rigorously, it is the mean and variability
of meteorological variables over a time spanning from months to
millions of years.
CAUSES & EFFECTS OF
A CLIMATE CHANGE
BY: Crystyl Piag
CAUSES & EFFECTS OF CLIMATE
CHANGE
THE main cause of climate change is burning fossil fuels such as oil,
gas, and coal. When burnt, fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the
air, causing the planet to heat up. Also, human activity is the main cause
of climate change. People burn fossil fuels and convert land from forests
to agriculture.
The effects of climate change is projected to increase the frequency and
intensity of extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, and
floods. These changes are likely to increase losses to property and crops,
and cause costly disruptions to society.
CAUSES
1. Generating power
Generating electricity and heat by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas
causes a large chunk of global emissions. Most electricity is still produced from fossil
fuels; only about a quarter comes from wind, solar and other renewable sources.
2. Manufacturing goods
Manufacturing and industry produce emissions, mostly from burning fossil fuels to
produce energy for making things like cement, iron, steel, electronics, plastics, clothes
and other goods. Mining and other industrial processes also release gases.
3. Cutting down forests
Cutting down forests to create farms or pastures, or for other
reasons, causes emissions, since trees, when they are cut, release
the carbon they have been storing. Since forests absorb carbon
dioxide, destroying them also limits nature’s ability to keep
emissions out of the atmosphere.
4. Using transportation
Most cars, lorries, ships and planes run on fossil fuels. That makes
transportation a major contributor of greenhouse gases, especially
carbon-dioxide emissions. Road vehicles account for the largest
part, but emissions from ships and planes continue to grow.
5. Producing food
Producing food requires energy to run farm equipment or fishing boats, usually with fossil fuels. Growing
crops can also cause emissions, like when using fertilizers and manure. Cattle produce methane, a
powerful greenhouse gas. And emissions also come from packaging and distributing food.
6. Powering buildings
Globally, residential and commercial buildings consume over half of all
electricity. As they continue to draw on coal, oil and natural gas for heating and
cooling, they emit significant quantities of greenhouse gas emissions.
7. Consuming too much
Your home and use of power, how you move around, what you eat and how
much you throw away all contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. So does the
consumption of goods such as clothing, electronics and plastics.
