36. Typhoon
Development
Evaporation of water
at ocean surface
temperature of 26.50
C or higher.
Warm, moist air
rises upwards from
ocean surface,
leaving a low
pressure area near
the ocean surface
36
Steps in typhoon
development
Air from surrounding
high pressure areas
rushes towards the low
pressure area. This air
is initially dry and
cooler, but near the
ocean surface, the air
is heated and carries
more water vapos from
continuous
evaporation
37. Typhoon
Development
As the warm
air rises
toward the
cooler parts of
the upper
atmoshere, it
cools off and
the water
vapor begins
to condense to
form clouds.
More clouds form and
wind speed picks up
as the Coriolis Effect
causes the air to
spiral as it rises. As
the winds rotate
faster, the low
pressure area near
the ocean surface
becomes a tropical
depression, and may
eventually turn into a
typhoon

Editor's Notes
#15:How can you describe the one you saw in the video?
What do you call that kind of natural phenomenon?
#17:Layers of atmosphere are not visible to the naked eye.
#19:The word tropical cyclone is composed of 2 distinct words that completely describe its characteristic.
#20:The tropical cyclone has different names in various parts of the world where it specifically developed.
#24:Though a tropical cyclone is known in different names, it has a uniform procedure of how it is formed and developed. Among other tropical cyclones, we often heard the word typhoon and hurricane in the weather reports. Here in the Philippines, we use typhoon or “bagyo”.
Read after the word INLAND.
The intensity of tropical cyclones vary, thus , we can classify them based upon their degree of intensity.
#28:The Coriolis Effect causes any body that moves on a rotating planet to turn to the right (clockwise) in the northern hemisphere and to the left (counterclockwise) in the southern hemisphere. The effect is negligible at the equator and increases both north and south toward the poles.
The Coriolis Effect occurs because the Earth rotates out from under all moving bodies like water, air, and even airplanes. Note that the Coriolis effect depends on the initial direction of motion and not on the compass direction.
#29:However, these conditions do not guarantee that a tropical cyclone will always form due to some factors that may affect its requirements and weaken its development.
The tropical cyclones are classified according to the strength of their wind. The classification is done based on the maximum sustained wind speed near the center.
#34:source: meaning of storm https://www.lexico.com/definition/storm
#45:The most dangerous and destructive part of a tropical cyclone is the eyewall. Here winds are strongest, rainfall is heaviest, and deep convective clouds rise from close to Earth's surface to a height of 15,000 meters.
The eye is a region of mostly calm weather found at the centre of strong tropical cyclones. The eye of a storm is usually circular and typically 25–40 miles (40–65 km) in diameter.
#48:Yearly, we experienced at least 20 typhoons. It is an evident that the Philippines is the most exposed country to tropical cyclones.
The Philippines is an archipelago consisting of 7,107 islands, surrounded by warm waters from the Pacific Ocean, which is suitable for the development of low pressure system that leads to typhoons. Similarly, the distance from the EQUATOR is the best site for the CORIOLIS EFFECT, an apparent force that spins the cyclone.
The Philippines is an island country. More specifically, the Philippines is an archipelago that is also considered a nation. As part of Southeast Asia, the Philippines is made up of approximately 7,641 separate islands. To make the situation less overwhelming, the Philippines has been divided up into three divisions. All of these islands fall into one of the three divisions, based on their particular location.
Philippines is above the equator and part of the northern hemisphere.
#49:The Philippines is near the equator having a warmer air able to develop typhoon.
The Philippines is situated at the Pacific Ring of Fire.
The Philippines is near the equator which the strong wind such ITCZ from northern and southern hemisphere pass through that carry warm air and cold air.
#64:1. Effects and of typhoon and how large the damages to our environment.
2. Typhoon/tropical cyclone enters the PAR and the direction is headed to North.
3. The formation of typhoon (typhoon starts as tropical thunderstorm, the strong wind pull the moisture from the oceans.
The teacher will ask the students to suggest ways on how we can prepare before the typhoon comes so that damage to properties and loss of lives could be at minimal.
#65:Learning Task 2:
1. The different tropical cyclones/typhoons categories are tropical depression with wind speed of between 35 to 64 kph, Tropical storm with wind speed is between 65 to 118 kph, the typhoon with wind speed is less from 119 to 200kph and the super typhoon with wind speed of greater than 200 khp.
2. When the typhoons enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
#66:Learning Task 3: Using the Map of the Philippines and its vicinity, plot the given points on the map. Connect the plotted points. The region within is the Philippine Area of Responsibility or PAR. It is the job of PAGASA to monitor all tropical cyclones that enter this area.
#67:The places located in the identified points are is the Philippines itself. The points create the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
Yes, it is within PAR, because the limit is in 25 degrees North and 135 degrees East.
No, it is already outside of Philippine Area of Responsibility.
The Philippine experiences an average of 20 to 25 typhoons per year because it is located directly on the path of the typhoon. The reason why so many typhoons form in the Pacific is because of its warm waters, suitable for the generation of typhoons. One of the deadliest typhoons to hit the Philippines was Yolanda or Haiyan in the international scene. This typhoon struck the Visayas and killed more than 10,000 people.
#69:1. Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they form only over warm ocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward from near the surface.
2.It's always going on LUZON and the end of thyphoon is in china.
3.Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones are all rotating storms spawned in the tropics. As a group, they can be referred to as tropical cyclones. Because of the Coriolis effect, these storms rotate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
