Weather
refers to the condition of the atmosphere at a particular place within a short period of time.
Weather
can be described by looking at the average temperature and precipitation over time
climate
season when the grasses becomes green and moist
wet season
Global warming can bring about a rising of sea level due to the melting of ice caps and glaciers
Climate Change
an abnormal and lengthy warming in the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean
El Nino

True
defined as the distance from north to south of the equator measured in degrees.
latitude
Season where ice cream, halo halo is best seller
Summer
Warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of the earth caused by conversion of solar radiation into heat.
Greenhouse effect

when trade wind is strong, it causes the piling up of warm surface water and making the part of the Pacific Ocean warmer leading to El Niño phenomenon. True or false
False - weakend
4 factors affects the weather
air pressure, heat, wind and moisture
temperature usually decreases by 1°C for every how many meters in altitude?
100 meters
what makes up clouds
Evaporation of water to water vapor builds up clouds
What greenhouse gases has a greater percent? and what produces this gases?
Carbon dioxide, cars, factories , less trees more more productions
This event is triggered by the cooling of the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean. That‘s why, it is sometimes called
Cold Pacific
weather can be measured and described by
temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind, humidity, cloudiness and precipitation
enumerate the 5 factors affecting climate
latitude, altitude, bodies of water, topography and ocean current
Type I Dry from Nov to Apr and wet during the rest of the year
Type II No dry season max rain Dec to Feb there no single dry month
Type III Dry season Dec to Feb and Mar to May short dry season
Type IV rainfall is distributed throughout the year
What are the different human activities that contribute to greenhouse effects
Using CFCs, kaingin, burning of tires, using fuel that produces carbon dioxide, industries, factories
During La Niña events, trade winds are even weaker than usual, pushing more warm water toward Asia. True or false
