Learning Competency
At the end of this lesson, the given DepEd learning
competency should be met by the students.
Explain how different factors affect the climate of
an area (S9ES-IIIe-30).
Learning Objectives
At the end of this lesson, the learner should be able
to do the following:
● Describe certain climatic phenomena that occur on a
global level
● Devise a design or program that could reduce risks and
lessen the effect of climate change.
Climate Change
Change in climate measures that lasts
for a long time. It covers dramatic
variations in temperature,
precipitation, or wind patterns
Global Warming
It refers to the recent and ongoing rise
in global average temperature near the
Earth’s surface. It is mostly driven by
rising levels of greenhouse gases.

GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG)
It is a gas in the This cause of the
atmosphere that greenhouse effect-
absorbs and emits warming that results
radiation within the when the atmosphere
thermal infrared range. traps heat radiating
from the Earth’s towards
space.

FIVE GASES
• 1. Water vapor (H20) – It accounts for up to 4% of
the composition of the atmosphere. It is considered a
natural greenhouse gas and acts as a feedback to the
climate.
• 2. Carbon Dioxide– releases through natural
processes.
Carbon sink- absorbs more carbon than released
(FOREST)
Carbon source- releases more than it released.

FIVE GASES
• 3. Methane (CH4)– It accounts for up to 20% of the
composition of the atmosphere. This gas produce 21
times as warming as C02. It remains in the athmo. for
11-12 years. (rice cultivation, coal mining, oil drilling,
leaky gas)
• 4. Nitrous oxide (N20)– known as laughing gas, is
chemical used as an oxidizer in rocketry and in motor
racing to increase the power output of engines

FIVE GASES
• 5. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)- it contains carbon,
chlorine, and fluorine. As this was introduced to the
ozone layer it depleted in the latter.

2. Use of Bioenergy
Rather than using fossil fuels or
wood to generate energy,
renewable energy could be use.

3. Reduced Fertilizer Use
Chemical fertilizers sometimes
called inorganic or synthetic
fertilizers, are produced through
synthetic means making them
nondegradable.

4. Anaerobic Digestion
of Waste
To reduce its emission
wastes can be collected
and stored in anaerobic
digester. The end product
can be use to renewable
eletricity

5. Improved Energy efficiency
• Utilize domestic energy sources. This includes
green technologies of wind, solar, hydro, nuclear,
and recycling resources.
• Make mass transit more extensive, economical, and
user-friendly
• Develop and disseminate practical energy
conservation packages for the population and
industry sectors.

5. Improved Energy efficiency
• Set advisory guidelines for industry and consumers
in the use of Energy starts qualified products.
• Recycle items considerately.
