MODULE 2

Activity 1
When The Sun's Rays Strike

When an area is farther from the equator, the air

temperature is lower resulting in a cold climate.
When the place is closer to the equator, the air
temperature is higher whichresults in a warm
climate. As the latitude increases, the greater the
angle the sun's rays strike.

Activity 2
The higher, The cooler

The air tempersture decreases as the altitude

increases. Places with higher elevation have cold
climates.

For every 1000 m, there is a drop of 6.5 degree

celsius. The decrease in air temperature is due to the
decrease in air pressure.
Activity 3
Which Cools and Heats Faster?

The soil absorbs heat faster than water. At the same

time, the soil releases heat faster compared to water.
During daytime, the air above the sea is colder than
the air above the land. The warm air flows from land
to sea. Thus, the rise of temperature on land would
be moderated.
During nighttime, warm air would flow from sea to
land, making the temperature on land higher.
Activity 4
Which should I choose, Windward or Leeward?

Moist wind coming from the sea flow up the

mountain.
Because temperature falls with altitude, water vapor
eventually condenses and there is precipitation.
Since this is the side of the of the mountain facing
the wind, It is called the windward side.
Formation of the clouds in the windward side of the
mountain is caused by the condensation of water
vapor.
Since precipitation occured on the windward side, the
wind often loses its moisture content by the time it
reaches the peak. The wind flowing down the other
side, called leeward side, is dry. Since it barely rains
on this side, the mountain is said to form a
rainshadow on the leeward side. Without rain to cool
it down, this side of the mountain also has higher
temperature.
Activity 5
Tempertures of Different Cities around the World

When a place is closer to the equator, the temperature is likely to

be higher.
When a place is farther from the equator, the temperature tends to
be lower.
Places that have high elevations have lower air temperature.
The closer a region is to a body of water, the temperature range is
smaller.
Places far from bodies of water tend to have larger temperature
range.
Activity 6
Ocean Currents

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.

Activity
8
It's Gettin'
Hot in Here

Greenhouse gases absorb heat, preventing them from flowing out

of the earth. Naturally, greenhouse gases play an important role in
keeping the earth wanm. The earth would be very cold if there
were no greenhouse gases that absorb heat.
Global temperature increses when the amount of greenhouse gases
in the atmosphere increases.
Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane
(CH4),cholofluorocarbons (CFC's), nitrousoxide (N2O).
Greenhouse effect happens when there is too much carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere.

Activity 9
CO2 Is The Real Reason!

As
the

carbon dioxide inceases in the atmosphere, the

more heat is absorb resulting to the icrease of
global temperature. The increase of global
temperature will lead to global warming.
Activity 10
Am I a Climate Hero or a Climate Culprit?

Different Activities

I use water wisely.

I eat a mixture of meat and

vegetarian meals.

We use kerosene lamp or low

energy light bulbs at home.

I use basin in washing our dishes.

I eat locally grown food.

I turn off electric appliances or

battery-operated gadgets instead of
leaving them on standby.
I use a glass of water when
brushing my teeth.

I eat organic foods.

I use reusable bags when buying

things from the market.
I avoid eating ready meals. (e.g.
noodles, sardines etc)
I use recycled notebooks and papers.

I throw my biodegradable wastes

into a compost pit.
I replace my toy or gadget when it stops
working rather than just to get the most
up-to-date model.
I know where my food or products are
made.

I give the clothes I have outgrown to

charity or to my younger siblings and
friends.
I throw my garbage to the garbage bin or bag.

I just walk if the place I want to go is near.

I do recycling in school.

I share a ride or walk or cycle on the

way to school.
