Although their effects on human populations can be devastating, tropical cyclones can relieve drought conditions and could carry away heat energy which could play an important role in regulating global climate. Thus, it is of most significance to have sufficient knowledge on such phenomena for beneficial purposesIn this activity sheet, you will be provided with activities that will improve your understanding in tracing the path of typhoons that enters the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) using map and tracking dataII.Learning CompetenciesThis Learning Activity Sheets was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you to trace the path of typhoons that enters the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) using map and tracking data.III.ObjectivesAfter going through this learning activity sheet, you are expected to:1.Familiarize the different tropical cyclone categories;2.Plot the Philippine area of responsibility using its latitude and longitude;3.Trace the path of a typhoon that enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) using a map and tracking data and4.Shows appreciation about PAGASA’s great help in giving weather forecast.

2What are the Categories of tropical cyclone?IV.DiscussionWhatisatropicalcyclone?Tropicalcycloneisoneofthemostdestructivenaturaldisastersthat affects many countries around the globe especially the countries near the pacific ring of fire. In the Philippines most people would say all tropical cyclone is a typhoon but actually typhoon is just a category of a tropical cyclone. Tropical cyclone is known as Bagyo in Filipino.They always form over oceans where sea surface temperature, also air temperatures are greater than 26°C. It results in annuallossesinlivesandpropertiesthataffecttheeconomy.Theimpactofthis is greatest over the coastal areas or places near bodies of water. Typhoons or tropical cyclone differ its name depending on the region, in the North Atlantic, Eastern North Pacific and South Pacific Ocean, they are called "hurricanes". In the eastern part of the Southern Indian Ocean, it is "willy-willy", and in the Western North Pacific Ocean, they are called "typhoons".

The intensity of tropical cyclones differ thus we can classify them based upon their degree of intensity associated with winds. The table below is adopted by PAGASA as of 01 May 2015 as followsTROPICAL CYCLONE CATEGORYMAXIMUM WIND SPEEDTROPICALDEPRESSION(TD)33 to 61 kilo meter per hourTROPICAL STORM (TS)62 to 88 kphSEVERE TROPICAL STORM (STS89 to 117 kphTYPHOON(TY)118 to 220 kphSUPER TYPHOON (STY)220 kph or more thanHow does PAGASA provides tracking data and forecasting of a tropical cyclone?Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is a meteorological agency that monitors weather occurrences specifically tropical cyclones that enter or develop in the PAR.

3What is Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR)?This is the smallest and innermost monitoring domain, whose boundary is closest to the Philippine Islands. The exact dimensions of this domain are the area of the Western North Pacific bounded by imaginary lines connecting the coordinates: 5°N 115°E, 15°N 115°E, 21°N 120°E, 25°N 135°E and 5°N 135°E.Forecasting involves predicting where a tropical cyclone is going to track over the next five days, every 6 to 12 hours. The history of tropical cyclone track forecasting has evolved from a single-station approach to a comprehensive approach which uses a variety of meteorological tools and methods to make predictions. The weather of a particular location can show signs of the approaching tropical cyclone like increasing cloudiness, falling barometric pressure, increasing tides, squalls, and heavy rainfall.When should PAGASA give name to a tropical cyclone?The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration(PAGASA)givelocalnamestotropicalcycloneswhentheyenter or form inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR)V.ActivitiesActivity # 1 CATEGORIZE ITDirections: Write what tropical cyclone categories do each tropical cyclone that hit the Philippines in the past belongs to base on its wind speed.
