Being affected by environmental disasters like an earthquake is not easy. It is the phenomenon which we
cannot predict as to where and when it will happen. Maybe, if we are in Cebu the moment when that destructive
earthquake occurred, we will become afraid and will just pray to be spare from the falling debris. Earthquake is
a violent ground-shaking phenomenon caused by the sudden release of strain energy stored in rocks. But did
you ever wonder how and where do earthquakes commonly happen? Can it take place anywhere?
For you to know the answer on your quest, open your textbook on pages 162-169 and be guide as you
accomplish the given set of exercises and questions that you will encounter as you go through this module.

Changes in weather naturally occurs in the atmosphere, particularly in the troposphere—the layer of the
atmosphere that is nearest to the ground. This layer consists of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane and other
greenhouse gases. These gases block some heat that is radiated back to the ground. The continues process of
evaporation, conduction and convection in the atmosphere leads to the low-pressure system formation where
tropical cyclones are initiated.
In this module, you will encounter set of activities that will enlighten and deepen your knowledge about
the common phenomenon of nature--- the typhoon. The lessons included here are as follows:
Learning Competency:
You can explain how typhoon develops and how it is affected by landmasses and bodies of water.
(S8ES-IId18/S8ES-IIe20)
Typhoon Haiyan, known in the Philippines as Super typhoon Yolanda, was one of the most
powerful tropical cyclones ever recorded. On making landfall, Haiyan devastated portions of Southeast
Asia, particularly the Philippines.
Based from our experiences, we can say as a Filipino that our nation is one of the countries that is very
prone to typhoons. And on that typhoon, we have a lot of stories to tell, whether good or not. And I know
somehow, you’re glad when there is typhoon because it only means that there will be no classes to attend.
However, it’s not the case for those people who will experience the worst from typhoon. A year will not pass
without us experiencing such typhoon. Yearly, our country experiences at least 20 typhoons.
For you to understand why we experience lots of typhoons yearly, open your textbook and explore pages
189-198. You can also visit www.camarinesnortecollegejhs.com/ for additional supplemental materials.

CONCEPT EVALUATION: Use ONE WHOLE INTERMEDIATE PAPER as your answer sheet.
I. Identification. Identify the things being referred to in each item. ANSWER ONLY.
1. It is a tropical cyclone that is formed in Northwest Pacific Ocean affecting Southeast Asia, West
Philippine Sea and mostly Japan.
2. This is where the Northeasterly and Southeasterly trade winds converge.
3. It is a discrete weather system of clouds, showers, and thunderstorms with apparent circulation
that originates in the ocean in the tropical region and remains intact for 24 hours.
4. It is a meteorological term which refers to the cyclonic circulation of winds.
5. It is an upper atmospheric trough that enhances convection in the tropics and can occasionally
promote intensification of tropical cyclone into typhoon.
6. It refers to the geographical starting point, which is usually hot and humid.
7. It is a tropical cyclone that is formed in the North Atlantic Ocean affecting the Caribbean Sea.
8. It is a process that leads to the formation of storm.
9. It is a trough of low pressure and is the most common mechanism that causes typhoon.
10. It is an inverted trough of low pressure moving generally westward in the tropical easterlies.
1. Typhoons are easily monitored by weather satellites because of their huge radius and
accumulated cloud system.
2. In super typhoon, the wind speed is greater than 200 kph.
3. A typhoon is cyclonic when it originates over cool seas.
4. There will be no classes from pre-school to high school if it is signal number 1.
5. Signal number 3 typhoon has a wind speed greater than 185kph.
6. It is important to note that the approximate lead time to expect the range of the wind speeds
given for each signal is valid only upon issuing the signal number for the first time.
7. The topographical location of the Philippines has nothing to do in making it susceptible to
typhoons.
8. DOST monitors the weather and climate of the country.
9. The weather bulletins must be issued every 12 hours.
10. The Philippines is surrounded by warm water which is suitable for the development of low
pressure system that leads to typhoons.
Learning Competency:
You can trace the path of typhoons that enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR)
using a map and tracking data. (S8ES-IIf-21)
Check it Out! Before exploring the content of this lesson, have time to accomplish
the following. You can write your answer on your old notebook for your SELF-
EVALUATION.
Exercise: Where I See? You already know that Philippines is really prone to typhoon. Identify the specific
places in the Philippines that are always affected by typhoon by answering the pictographs below. Enjoy
learning
Were you able to know the specific places that is prone to typhoon? If yes, can you cite a reason
why do these places are experiencing typhoon frequently?
These places are areas open to big seas and where forested mountain ranges are found. As the
typhoon passes through these regions, the weather disturbance brings more rain due to the exposure to bodies of
water.
For you to deeply learn about typhoon, open your books on pages 199-203.

During your elementary days, you already learned that our planet belongs to Solar System with seven
more planets and Sun at the center. You became familiar with the characteristics of each planets and how far are
they from the Sun. But, have you ever wonder what else are beyond our planet? If you do so, it is the same thing
why astronomers conducted their study beyond our planet. There are a lot of studies that are light years away
from us.
On this module, you will discover what else is beyond our planet. The lesson included here is entitled,
“Other Members of the Solar System”.

Learning Competency:
You can compare and contrast comets, meteors, and asteroids. (S8ES-IIg22)
Science really makes you curious on different things. And one of the amazing part of studying Science is,
you are able to know not just the interior of the Earth but also the things beyond our planet. Though it is true that
we cannot go there (unless you become an astronaut someday ), still, knowing what is beyond is really an
exciting and mind-blowing learning.
Are you ready to be a mentally astronaut? Open your books on pages 218-223 and see some members of
the Solar System. You can also visit www.camarinesnortecollegejhs.com/ for more information.
