25
Some of the most important energy sources in our world today
Fossil fuels
26
This is the outermost layer of earth, first layer that protects us from the sun
Exosphere
27
What are the layers of the atmosphere
Troposphere Stratosphere Mesosphere Thermosphere Exosphere
28
From Indian word mawsim meaning seasons Seasonally changing winds caused by connection currents that bring additional rain or dry cold air depending on where they come from
Monsoon
29
Known as Hanging habagat convection current brings humid air from Indian Ocean and moves from south west June to October
Southwest monsoon
30
Hanging amihan; convection currents coming from Siberia and China that blows cool air over the entire South East Asian region November to may
North-east monsoon
31
Winds that blow from a single direction over a specific area of earth
Prevailing surface winds
32
What does ITCZ mean?
Intertropical convergence zone
33
Belt of low pressure which circles the earth generally near the equator where the Tradewinds of the northern and southern hemispheres come together
Intertropical convergence zone
34
Amount of hours of daylight is a part of earth that is dictated by two factors
Earth’s orbit
35
Earth is farthest from the sun Happens in July
Aphelion
36
Earth is closest to the sun Happens during December or January
Perihelion
37
Same hours of the day and night
Equinox
38
Longest or shortest hours of daylight
Solstice
39
Earth axial tilt is about 23.5° this causes the seasons
Tilt of the Earth
40
0 to 23.5°, In the regions between the equator and the tropics (equatorial region), the solar radiation reaches the ground nearly vertically at noontime during almost the entire year. Thereby, it is very warm in these regions
Tropical zone
41
23.5°–40° receive the highest radiation in summer, since the Sun's angle at noon is almost vertical to the Earth, whilst the cloud cover is relatively thin
Subtropics
42
40°–60° the solar radiation arrives with a smaller angle, and the average temperatures here are much cooler than in the subtropics. The seasons and day length differ significantly in the course of a year
Temperate zone
43
60°–90° The polar areas between 60° latitude and the poles receive less heat through solar radiation, since the Sun has a very flat angle toward the ground
Cold zone
44
Average weather of a locality over a period of time
Climate
45
Daily overall atmospheric conditions in an area
Weather
46
The characteristic weather patterns for that particular length of time
Seasons
47
What is PAGASA
Philippine atmospheric geophysical and astronomical services Administration they are responsible for weather and temperature forecasts
48
(June and October) The atmosphere and the amount of solar radiation are two of these factors that play a big role.
Rainy season
49
are localized atmospheric phenomena made up of hundred of storm clouds that form over the oceans and bring with them heavy rains and strong winds
Tropical cyclones
50
caused by northeast monsoon, which can start from late October and end in early March
Cold dry season
51
coincides with the time the seasonal winds are transitioning between the cool dry season and the rainy season
Warm dry season
52
overall weakness you would feel because of overheating
Heat exhaustion
53
cramps that happen after excessive sweating
Heat cramps
54
most severe of the heat-related illnesses, which can happen when the body reaches a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius
Heat stroke
55
Formed when an object obstructs the path of light
Shadow
56
Darkest part of a shadow where light is completely blocked
Umbra
57
A lighter shadow surrounded by a darker region, is observed during certain conditions like solar eclipses
Antumbra
58
can be seen as the partially shaded area surrounding the umbra
Penumbra
59
Occurs when one celestial body passes through the shadow of another celestial body
Eclipse
60
occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking or partially blocking the Sun's light. This can result in a partial or total obscuration of the Sun as seen from Earth
Solar eclipse
61
takes place when Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, causing Earth's shadow to be cast on the lunar surface. This results in a darkening or reddening of the Moon
Lunar eclipse
62
Moon partially covers the sun casting only a portion of its shadow on earth
Partial solar EclipsE
63
happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, but when it is at or near its farthest point from Earth
Annular solar eclipse
64
Moon completely covers the sun, blocking its entire disk
Total solar eclipse
65
Portion of moon moves into the earth’s umbra
Partial lunar eclipse
66
Entire moon moves into earths umbra
Total lunar eclipse
67
The moon passes through the earth’s penumbra
Penumbral lunar eclipse
