• is the long-term warming of the planet's overall temperature. Though this warming trend has been going on for a long time, its pace has significantly increased in the last hundred years due to the burning of fossil fuels. As the human population has increased, so has the volume of fossil fuels burned.

refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of

• is a fluid substance, meaning it can flow and move. It moves in response to differences in pressure, temperature, and density. Wind, for example, is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

• light winds characterized by their gentle and refreshing nature. They typically occur near the Earth's surface and are driven by temperature and pressure differences in the atmosphere.

a local wind system characterized by a flow from sea to land during the day.

• a local wind system characterized by a flow from land to water late at night. 

is a seasonal wind pattern characterized by a reversal of wind direction, accompanied by significant changes in precipitation.

• is the Filipino term for Northeast monsoon, which is a cool and dry northeast wind coming from Siberia and China and blows down to Southeast Asia. This season is characterized with slight to moderate rainfall and a prevailing cold wind that affects east of the Philippines.

• is a warm moist wind from the southwest causing rains over the western portion of the country from May to September.

• is a belt of low pressure near the equator where the trade winds from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres converge. It is one of the key components of Earth's atmospheric circulation system and plays a significant role in shaping global weather patterns.
