Multiple Choice

4. Which of the following is the MOST probable cause why typhoons die out as it hit the landmass?

• a. Its pressure remains constant

• b. Its wind speed is affected by steep mountains

• c. Its wind speed will be affected by the barrier trees

• d. It has not enough fast rising water vapor to sustain it

1. Do you think typhoons can form in latitude away from the equator? Why or why not?

Study the map below. They tell us the tracks of four cyclones that enter the PAR in the past years.

Open Ended

Where did the tropical cyclone s form? in land or in water?

Open Ended

What can you say about the temperatures of bodies of water in the vicinity of the Philippines? is the water warm or cold?

Open Ended

In what direction did the tropical cyclones move?

Open Ended

Which part of the Philippines was hit by the four (4) tropical cyclones?

Open Ended

In the case of Agaton, Yoyong, and Huaning, where did they die out? Near land or in the middle of the ocean?

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• 1. Trace and Plot the track of the tropical cyclone that enter the PAR using a map and tracking data

• 2. Understand the importance of tracking the tropical cyclone 

• 3. Realized the effects of tropical cyclone and find ways how to lessen its effects

VOCABULARY WORDS

• PAR- Philippine Area of the Philippines, the imaginary boundary in the pronouncement of incoming and outgoing of typhoon.

• PAG-ASA-national institution dedicated to provide flood and typhoon warnings, public weather forecasts and advisories, meteorological, astronomical, climatological, and other specialized information and services primarily for the protection of life and property 

• Wind Speed-describes how fast the air is moving past a certain point. 

• Air pressure-the force exerted onto a surface by the weight of the air

Activity no. 2 Dissecting A Tropical Cyclone

What can you say about the two given illustrations?

• The top one shows a tropical cyclone as seen at an angle. White rain bands move around the center or “eye”.

• The bottom illustration shows a cross-section of a tropical cyclone. It is like slicing it in half and looking at it from the side.

Location E is within the eye of the tropical cyclone. Location F is within the clouds surrounding the eye. The clouds at F make up the eye wall. The wind speeds at the two locations are:

• Location E- Wind speed (km/hr)=10

• Location F- Wind speed( km/hr)= 200

• Guide Question: Compare the wind speed within the eye and at the eyewall. What can you say?

Activity no.3 Use the latitude and longitude (lat-long) in the table below to track the location of Tropical storm “Auring”. ( DUJUAN) on Feb.20 as its latest track as monitored by PAG-ASA.  Plot each lat-long pair on the map with the PAR.

Open Ended

What is the initial position of tropical cyclone Auring? Is it inside or outside the PAR?

Open Ended

Assessment

Multiple Choice

Which statement is INCORRECT about tracking the typhoon?

• A. Predicting the path as to where a typhoon will take its course.

• B. It involves using a single weather instrument to predict its strength and movement.

• C. It involves determining the position and strength of high-and-low pressure areas.

• D. It involves predicting the movements of typhoons within 5 to 7 days, and in 6 to 12 hours whenever there is a storm.

Multiple Choice

Which best explains why the air in the surroundings moves towards the eye during the formation of typhoons?

• A. Typhoons have no air pressure in the middle thus, pulling the air towards it.

• B. Typhoons have normal air pressure in the middle thus, pulling the air towards it.

• C. Typhoons have lower air pressure in the middle thus, pulling the air towards it.

• D. Typhoons have higher air pressure in the middle thus, pulling the air towards it.
