Task: Select the metacards where
effects of soil erosion are written and
post them on the space provided for
group on the board.

2. Presentation
“Our lesson for today is all about
Weather Disturbances.”
3. Discussion
Typhoon Yolanda November 8, 2013
The Philippines experiences an
average of 20 typhoons a year. Being
surrounded by bodies of water makes
us prone to experience some weather
disturbances.
A typhoon is just one of the many
weather disturbances we experience.
It brings heavy rains, floods, and
landslides.
Can you name other weather
disturbances?
Look at the sky. Can you tell what the
weather is?
Weather - is the condition of the
atmosphere at a short period of time.
Weather disturbances - refers to any
disruption of the atmosphere’s stable
condition.
(Pupils are listening)
Storm ma’am.
(Pupils will answer)
Types of Weather disturbances
1. Storm – is a violent disturbance in
atmosphere marked by sudden
changes in air pressure and rapid air
movement.
Do you have an idea how these
storms happen?
2. Thunderstorms - Is a localized storm
cloud that produces thunder and
lightning. It is one of the most
common types of weather
disturbance that experience in the
country.
But do you know what causes this
thunderstorm?
We experienced storms that brought
heavy rainfall and strong wind.
(Pupils will give their own idea)
3. Hurricane - A tropical storm with
sustained winds of at least 120 km/hr.
Hurricanes, consider the move violent
storms on earth, have several names
depending on location where they
are formed.
4. Tropical Cyclones - Form when
warm air moves over the surface of
the ocean, creating a massive
amount of water vapor.
Tropical cyclone are classified four
according to the maximum speed of
the wind blowing near the center.




Tropical Depression – a cyclone
where a maximum wind blows
near the center does not
exceed to 64 kilometers per
hour.
Tropical Storm – a cyclone
where a maximum wind blows
near the center has a speed of
65-118 kilometers per hour.
Typhoon - a cyclone where a
maximum wind blows near the
center has a speed of 119-200
kilometers per hour.
Super Typhoon - a cyclone
where a maximum wind blows
near the center has a speed of
greater than 200 kilometers per
hour.
