WORKSHEET IN SCIENCE 7

At the end of lesson, you are expected to:

 Account for the occurrence of land and sea breezes, monsoons, and intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ)
(S7ESIVf-7)
 Using models, relate:
1 the tilt of the Earth to the length of daytime 2 the length of daytime to the amount of energy received 3 the
position of the Earth in its orbit to the height of the Sun in the sky 4 the height of the Sun in the sky to the amount
of energy received 5 the latitude of an area to the amount of energy the area receives 6 tilt of the Earth and the
seasons (S7ES-IVh-9)
 Explain how solar and lunar eclipses occur using models

Atmospheric Phenomena: Breezes, Monsoons, and Intertropical Convergence Zone

The following occurrences outline how sea breeze is formed:
1. During day time, the sun often quickly heats up land.
2. The air above the land gets warmer than the air above water.
3. As the air above land is warmer, it gets less dense and it begins to rise.
4. Low pressure is formed.
5. The denser air above the water moves to the space above the land. This cooler air is now what is termed as a “sea
breeze”
The following occurrences outline how land breeze is formed:
1. Late at night, the loss of heat source causes land to quickly cool down which causes the heat to be released towards
the surrounding air.
2. As compared to land, water retains heat longer which causes the air above it to have lesser density and rise.
3. Low pressure is formed above the water while high pressure is formed above the land.
4. The denser air above the land moves to the space over the water.
5. As winds typically blow from high to low pressure areas, the cooler breeze then comes from the shore and is now called
as “land breeze”.

Land Breeze Vs Sea Breeze

 Monsoons are wind systems. But these winds usually bring abundant rainfall to the country and this probably the
reason why they have been mistaken for rains. In Filipino, the monsoons are called amihan or habagat, depending
on where the winds come from.
 Amihan or Northeast monsoon- the cold air we experience from October to March when the high pressure area in
the Asian continent toward the low pressure area south of the Philippines.
 Habagat or Southwest monsoon- the wind moves from the high pressure area in Australia move to the low-pressure
area in the Asian continent. This happens from July to September.
 Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)- the region that circles the Earth, near the equator, where the trade winds
of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres come together. The intense sun and warm water of the equator heats
the air in the ITCZ, raising its humidity and making it buoyant. Aided by the convergence of the trade winds, the
buoyant air rises. As the air rises it expands and cools, releasing the accumulated moisture in an almost perpetual
series of thunderstorms.
 Habagat Vs. Amihan

 Axial tilt determines the length of daylight at any point on the earth. The 23.5 degrees of tilt and the position of
the north pole relative to the sun factors in. When the pole is tilted towards the sun, daylight is longer than
when it is pointed away

 The relationship of amount of energy received and the length of daytime is related to each other. The shorter
the length of daytime, the lesser the amount of energy received. The longer the length of daytime, the
higher the amount of energy received.
 The tilt of the Earth causes different areas to receive different amounts of solar energy. The lowest latitudes
get the most energy from the sun. The highest latitudes get the least. The difference in solar energy
received at different latitudes drives atmospheric circulation.

 As Earth orbits our Sun, the position of its axis

relative to the Sun changes. This results in a change in
the observed height of our Sun above the horizon.
For any given location on Earth, our Sun is observed to
trace a higher path above the horizon in the summer,
and a lower path in thinter.
 The intensity of sunlight striking the ground
depends on the sun's angle in the sky. When the sun
is at a lower angle, the same amount of energy is
spread over a larger area of ground, so the ground
is heated less.

Seasons and Eclipses

 Season is a period of the year that is distinguished by special climate condition. The four seasons—spring,
summer, fall, and winter—follow one another regularly. Each has its own light, temperature, and weather
patterns that repeat yearly. In the Northern Hemisphere, winter generally begins on December 21 or 22. This is
the winter solstice, the day of the year with the shortest period of daylight.
 Revolution is the movement of the Earth around the Sun. The Earth takes 24 hours to complete a rotation
with respect to the sun. The Earth takes a full year (365 days) for one complete revolution around the Sun.
The Earth's axis of rotation is tilted by 23.5 degrees.
  Earth's tilted axis and its revolution- around the sun
causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of
Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North
Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern
Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's
winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Changing Seasons on Earth

 Eclipse, in astronomy, complete or partial obscuring of a

celestial body by another. An eclipse occurs when three celestial
objects become aligned.
 Eclipses are divided into two major types: solar and lunar.
Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between Earth and
the Sun, leaving a moving region of shadow on Earth's surface.
Lunar eclipses occur when Earth passes between the Sun and
the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon.

During an eclipse, two shadows are cast. The first is called

the umbra (UM bruh). This shadow gets smaller as it goes away
from the sun. It is the dark center of the eclipse shadow. The
second shadow is called the penumbra (pe NUM bruh). The
penumbra gets larger as it goes away from the sun.
