FACTORS AFFECTING CLIMATE
A. Science Story
DIRECTIONS: Read the story and answer the guide questions.
Anna is an American traveller. She cannot tolerate the winter in her country so
she decided to visit the Philippines. When she arrived, she stayed first in Metro Manila
where she suddenly felt temperature changes. So, she decided to move to Baguio to feel
the cold weather. While traversing the winding roads up to the mountain top, she felt the
cold winds. She was amazed because it is much cooler there than in Metro Manila. After
staying there for a few hours, she opted to travel farther north and went to Cagayan.
Unfortunately, there was a typhoon during her stay. She observed that the people were
not badly affected due to Sierra Madre’s mountain ranges. After the typhoon, she headed
to Boracay to experience its majestic white beach. As soon as she arrived, she noticed
that it was warmer on land farther from the sea than when she stayed in the resort along
the coastal areas.
Guide Questions:
1. When Anna went to the Philippines, she experienced a sudden temperature change.
What factor affects its climate change?
2. How does latitude affect the climate in relation to Anna’s travelling experience?
3. How did Sierra Madre mountain ranges help minimize the impact of the typhoon?
Cite the factors.
4. How do you compare climate on land and climate near the sea ?
5. Why do you think some locations that are distant from bodies of water have extreme
climate?
