1. FACTORS THAT AFFECT CLIMATE

2. METEOROLOGIST Someone who study and report on weather and climate, keep records of temperature, precipitation.

3. LATITUDE ALTITUDE LAND MASSES AND BODIES OF WATER PRECIPITATION AIR MOVEMENT FACTORS THAT AFFECT CLIMATE

4. 1. LATITUDE Determines how far a place is from a place is from the equator. It also determines the amount of solar energy that a region receives and prevailing wind patterns. 1. The angle which the rays of the sun strike that region. 2. The number of hours of daylight.

5. 2. ALTITUDE The height of the place above sea level. 1. The higher the altitude of a given place, the lower is its average temperature. 2. Air is thinner in high places than at sea level.

6. 3. LAND MASSES & BODIES OF WATER The different heating and cooling properties of land and water, bodies of water tend to be cooler than land during summer and warmer than land during winter.

7. LAND AND WATER ABSORB AND RELEASE HEAT AT DIFFERENT RATES

8. LAND MASSES & BODIES OF WATER The presence of bodies of water tends to moderate the climate nearby land masses. Inland places tend to have hot summers and cold winters. Places near bodies of water tend to have cool summers and mild winters.

9. 4. PRECIPITATION Any moisture that falls from the air to the Erath’s surface. Liquid: drizzle and rain Solid: snow, sleet and hail Regions in the equator are warm all year long.

10. 5 . AIR MOVEMENT The unequal heating of the earth’s surface causes air to move. When air is heated, it rises. Cool air gradually becomes warm and rises. So, a steady flow of rising warm air and falling cool air takes place.

11. 5 . AIR MOVEMENT The spinning of the earth causes moving air to change direction which causes winds in the northern half of the earth to flow to the right and causes winds in the southern half of the earth to fall to the left.

12. PHILIPPINE CLIMATE

13. 1.) TYPE I-Two pronounced season (dry & wet) Rainy season: June-September caused by southwest monsoon. Ilocos region, Central Luzon, Metro Manila, Region IV-A and , Southern part of Antique and Iloilo, Palawan.

14. 2 .) TYPE II-No dry season (very pronounced maximum rain period) Maximum rainfall: December-January Quezon province, Bicol region, Samar, Leyte, Surigao del Sur, Agusan del Norte, Misamis Occidental, Polio Island

15. 3.) TYPE III-No maximum rain period (short dry season: 3 months only) Northesthern part of Ilocos , Cagayan, Mountain Province, Isabela, Aklan,Basilan , Bukidnon , Cotabato , Eastern Maguindanao

16. 4 .) TYPE IV-Evenly distributed rainfall throughout the year. Kalinga- Apayao , Western Samar, Northern pat of Leyte and Cebu, Northeastern part of Zamboanga, Lanao del Norte, Davao Oriental and Agusan del Sur

17. 4 .) TYPE IV-Evenly distributed rainfall throughout the year. About 27% of the average annual rainfall in the Philippines is attributed to the occurrence of tropical cyclones from JUNE-DECEMBER which affects the Climate in our country.
