    The document contains instructions and questions for 5 groups to research how different geographic factors affect climate, including latitude, topography, altitude, ocean currents, and distance from the ocean. Group 1 is asked to find the latitude and describe the climate of 10 cities. Groups 2-5 are given information or diagrams and asked multiple choice questions about how mountains, elevation, ocean currents, and proximity to water influence temperature and atmospheric moisture levels.

    Task: Search the Internet for the latitude of these places. Then, briefly describe their
    climate.

    GROUP 2: Windward or Leeward?


    Task: Explain how topography affect climate

    Watch the video prepared by the teacher. Then, answer the questions below.
    1. What happens to water vapor as it rises over the mountain?
    2. Which side of the mountain experiences low temperature?
    3. Which side of the mountain experiences high temperature?
    4. What happens when air becomes warmer and drier as it moves open the leeward
    side?
    5. What dry region forms at the back of the mountain?
    6. How does topography affect climate?

    GROUP 3: The Higher, the Colder


    Task: Explain how altitude affects climate.

    Different Cities in the Philippines and Their Annual Average Temperature


    Name of Place Elevation above Sea level Annual average
    (m) temperature (Celcius)
    Bacolod 10 27.5
    Baguio 1400 16.0
    Laoag 20 27.3
    Manila 10 27.7
    Tagaytay 640 22.7

    Questions:
    1. Which place has the highest elevation?
    2. Which has the lowest annual temperature? What does a low temperature mean?
    3. Which place has the lowest elevation?
    4. Which has the highest annual temperature? What does a high temperature mean?
    5. What is the relationship between altitude and temperature?
    .
    GROUP 4: Ocean Current
    Task: Explain how ocean currents affect climate

    The figure above shows different loops or gyres of surface currents around the world. In
    the northern hemisphere, the current flows in a clockwise direction. On the other hand, in
    the southern hemisphere, the current flows in counterclockwise direction. These
    clockwise and counterclockwise of ocean currents are caused by water. The air above
    the warm water has higher temperature. When ocean currents that bring cold water
    move towards a coastal region, the temperature of that area decreases as warmer air
    from the land flows to the sea resulting in a cold climate. When warm ocean currents that
    take along warm water go to a land mass, the temperature of that place increases as
    warmer air above the water flows inland, resulting in a warm climate.

    Questions:
    1. What are the different ocean currents that carry warm water? Give at least 3
    examples.
    2. What are the different ocean currents that carry cold water? Give at least 3
    examples.
    3. What kind of air does Greenland Current take along? How could you say so?
    4. How do ocean currents affect climate?
    GROUP 5: Is it near or far?
    Task: Explain how distance from the ocean affect climate

    A. Locate the following places on the globe. Then, identify whether the place is
    landlocked or surrounded by water.
    1. Cheyenne, Wyoming
    2. Istanbul, Turkey
    3. Tucson, Arizona
    4. Hamilton, Bermuda

    B. Study the picture above. What differs between Seattle’s and Waterville’s
    surrounding geographical feature?

    Study the picture above. What differs between Seattle’s and Waterville’s surrounding
    geographical feature?

    Questions:
    1. Which places have extreme climate?
    2. Which places have good climates?
    3. Are places with extreme climate near the ocean?
    4. Are places with good climate near the ocean?
    5. How do distance from the ocean affects the climate?
