different weather disturbances.
Group I- Storm
Group II- Thunderstorms
Group III- Tornadoes
Group IV- Tropical Cyclone
LET US THINK...
1. What are the different types of weather
disturbances?
2. What is a tornado?
3. What is a thunderstorm? Hurricane? Storm?
Tropical Cyclone?
4. How do weather disturbances affect living things
and the environment?
LET'S GENERALIZE
These are the types of weather disturbances:
1.Thunderstorm
2.Tornado
3.Tropical cyclone
4.Intertropical convergence zone
5. Moonsoon
THUNDERSTORM
Thunderstorms are small, intense
weather systems that make strong
winds, heavy rain, lightning, and
thunder. Thunderstorms can happen
anywhere with two conditions: the air
near the Earth's surface must be
warm and moist (with lots of liquid),
and the atmosphere must be unstable.
[1] 100 lightning bolts hit the earth
every second, and at any one
moment, about 1,800 thunderstorms
happen around the earth.[2]
Thunderstorms are rare in cold
weather. When they happen, it is
called thundersnow.
TORNADO
A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air
that is in contact with both the surface of the
Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare
cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. They are
often referred to as twisters, whirlwinds or
cyclones,[1] although the word cyclone is
used in meteorology to name a weather
system with a low-pressure area in the center
around which winds blow counterclockwise in
the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in
the Southern.[2] Tornadoes come in many
shapes and sizes, and they are often visible
in the form of a condensation funnel
originating from the base of a cumulonimbus
cloud, with a cloud of rotating debris and dust
beneath it.
TROPICAL CYCLONE
A tropical cyclone is a circular air
movement over the warm ocean
waters in the warm part of Earth near
the equator. Most tropical cyclones
create strong winds and heavy rains.
While some tropical cyclones stay out
in the sea, others pass over land.
They can be dangerous because of
flooding and because the winds pick
up objects, including things as big as
small boats. They can throw these
things at high speeds.
INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE
Intertropical convergence
Zone is a region around the
equator where trade winds
from North and South
hemisphere converge.
MOONSOON
Moonson is a continuous
shift in prevailing wind
directions. Our country
experiences two
moonsoons, the Northeast
Moonson (Hanging amihan)
and southwest Moonson
(Hanging Habagat)
1. Where does a typhoon form?
2. What happens to a funnel of
cloud when it touches the
ground?
3. Give the events that are
associated with thunderstorms.
ASSESSMENT
____1. It rotates in a counterclockwise direction around an” eye “.
___2. It is localized storm cloud that produces thunder and lightning.
___3. A violent disturbance in atmosphere marked by sudden
changes in air pressure and rapid air movements.
___4. These are classified into three according to the maximum
speed of the wind near the center..
___5. A whirling, funnel-shaped windstorm, which often develops
from a thunderstorm.
(Tornado, Storm, Hurricane, Tropical Cyclone, Thunderstorm)
