    1. Several factors affect climate including latitude, altitude, topography, ocean currents, wind systems, and the Earth's movement. 2. Latitude affects climate because locations closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight and have higher temperatures year-round. Altitude also influences climate as temperature decreases with increasing elevation. 3. Ocean currents transport warm or cold water to coastal regions, impacting their climate. Wind systems like monsoons and sea/land breezes further determine a region's climate. 4. The Earth's axial tilt and revolution around the sun cause seasons by changing which hemispheres receive more direct sunlight over the course of a year.

    WEATHER
    Is the temporary
    condition of the
    atmosphere which may
    change for a period of
    hours or days.
    FORECAST
    WEATHER
    Highly variable day to
    day.

    Example, an area can


    have a warm summer
    this year and a warm
    summer the next year.

    1 - LATITUDE
    Measurement of
    distance north or south
    of the equator.

    Your location on Earth


    influences the climate
    you have.
    1 - LATITUDE
    The main reason that
    affects the climate of
    any place is its distance
    from the equator.

    Latitude

    > Temperature
    1 - LATITUDE
    Lower latitudes around
    the equator get the
    most sunlight; these
    areas stay warm all year.
    The Philippines has high
    temperatures all year
    round due to its location
    close to the equator.
    Have you ever been
    to Baguio City?
    2 - ALTITUDE
    Baguio City, "The
    Summer Capital" of the
    Philippines, is about
    2,300 feet directly above
    sea level.
    The height or elevation
    of the area influences its
    climate.
    2 - ALTITUDE
    Area

    Temperature

    Temperature drops
    about 2̊C for each 300m
    or 1,000ft of altitude.
    2 - ALTITUDE
    At higher elevations,
    there's less air. Air
    molecules are farther
    apart, making the air
    less dense.
    Less dense air can't
    absorb heat, making air
    temperature decrease.
    2 - ALTITUDE
    Therefore, we can conclude
    that altitude affects the air
    temperature.

    features or arrangement

    4 - OCEAN
    CURRENTS
    The flows of water
    running in the ocean.

    They move like rivers


    and flow through the
    ocean in different
    directions.
    4 - OCEAN
    CURRENTS
    Oceans heat up and cool
    down slower than land; which
    means coastal regions tend to
    be cooler in summer and
    warm in winter.
    Currents are caused by the
    wind, earthquakes, and
    gravity.
    CORIOLIS EFFECT
    KUROSHIO
    CURRENT
    Ocean currents that
    flow away from the
    equator carry warm
    water, resulting in a
    warm climate.
    W. AUSTRALIA
    CURRENT
    Ocean currents that
    flow away from the
    equator carry cold
    water, resulting in a cold
    climate.
    5 - WIND
    SYSTEMS
    People residing nearby
    oceans and lakes feel the
    breeze.

    There are two types of


    breeze - land breeze and
    sea breeze.
    SEA BREEZE

    During the day, warm


    air over the land rises
    and is exchanged by
    the cool air over the
    water.
    LAND BREEZE
    During the night, the
    land turns out to be
    cooler than water.

    Warmer air over the


    water increases and is
    replaced by cooler air
    from the land.
    5 - WIND SYSTEMS
    On big surfaces, continents
    heat and cool faster than
    oceans. A center of low
    pressure (warm air) builds
    over the continent while
    high pressure (cold air)
    builds over the nearby
    ocean.
    NORTHEAST
    MONSOON
    From October to February, a
    high-pressure region builds
    over Southern Siberia and
    India in winter because of the
    cold air over these areas. It
    reaches the Philippines from
    a northeasterly direction.
    SOUTHWEST
    MONSOON
    From June to September, the
    continent of Asia turns out to
    be warmer than the oceans
    nearby. It goes toward the
    Asian continent from a
    southwest direction.
    6 - EARTH'S
    MOVEMENT
    One side faces the sun while the
    other side is in darkness.
    The earth’s axis is inclined at 23
    1⁄2 degrees.
    Because of this, some portions
    of the earth receive vertical rays
    while other parts receive
    diagonal rays.
    Regions on earth that receive
    vertical rays have hot climates
    roughly all year round. Those
    which get diagonal rays have
    cooler climates.
    Areas on this side of the earth
    get a hot season or summer.
    Those places which are tilted
    away from the sun get cold
    seasons or winter.
