 What I Need to Know

What have you learned about the earth’s atmosphere? It plays an important role
in our lives. The earth’s atmosphere is composed of different layers where significant
processes occur such as the weather systems. The different weather phenomena that
we experience on the planet are the result of the interaction of factors and processes
such as geography, location, and the sun’s radiation. This lesson will discuss the
processes and behavior of the various weather systems.

Most Essential Learning Competency:

Demonstrate an understanding on the account for the occurrence of land and

sea breezes, monsoons, and intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). (S7ES-IVf-7)

This module is divided into two lessons:

Lesson 1: Behavior of heated air and surrounding air
Lesson 2: Atmospheric Phenomena: Breezes, Monsoon, and Intertropical
Convergence Zone (ITCZ).

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. explain what happens when air is heated;
2. describe the direction of heated or warm air;
3. cite the effect of unequal temperature of air in the atmosphere;
4. identify common atmospheric phenomena such as breezes, monsoons,
and intertropical convergence zone;
5. compare the types of breezes and monsoons; and
6. explains the occurrences of Intertropical convergence zone, breezes,
and monsoon.

What is it

Which warms faster?

Specific heat capacity is defined by the amount of heat needed to raise the
temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius (0C). Substance with low
specific heat capacity heats up faster while a substance with high specific heat capacity
heats up slowly.

In activity 1, water warms and cools down slowly because it is colorless and has
a high specific heat capacity. Water needs more amount of energy from the sun to
increase its temperature in a longer period of time.

Sand warms and cools down faster because it has dark color and has a low
specific heat capacity. Sand doesn’t need much energy from the sun to warm in a short
period of time.

What happens when air is heated?

In activity 2, you observed that one paper bag rose while the other paper bag
dropped. The paper bag moving was caused by the rising warm air from the lighted
candle below it that pushed the bag upward. The activity shows that heated or warm
air rises or tends to move upward.

Why does heated air move upward?

Have you seen floating objects on water? When oil is mixed with water, a layer of
oil appears on the surface of the water because oil is less dense than water. Density is
how tightly packed the molecules are in an object. Oil is less dense than water because
its particles are less tightly packed than water molecules. If an object sinks, it is denser
than the other object.

8
CO_Q4_Science7_Module4
 When air is heated, its molecules gain enough energy to move around faster and
spread out. When a mass of air takes up more space, it becomes less dense than the
surrounding air molecules. Hence, warm air rises above the cold and denser air below
it.

Is the surrounding air affected by the rising sir?

In activity 3, the air above the lighted candle became warm and less dense than
the rest of the air inside the box which caused it to rise. You observed that the smoke
from the mosquito coil moved inside the box through the side hole. This is so because
it came through the cool air inlet at the side. This movement of the smoke inside the
box shows that the surrounding air is affected by the rising warm air. The rising warm
air creates a low pressure inside the box which pulls in cool air from the outside to
replace the rising air. Low air pressure is associated with rising air as air particles leave
the surface. As the cool air descends, it creates a high pressure at the surface. Air that
moves from places of high pressure to low pressure make winds.

Q1. What happens to the warm air?

Q2. Why does warm air rise?
Q3. Does rising air affect the movement of air from its surrounding?

What is Convection?

Convection is heat transfer by the movement of heated fluid like air. During
convection, heated particles of fluid begin to flow, transferring heat from one part of the
fluid to another. Convection is caused by differences of temperature and density within
a fluid like air. Density is a measure of how much mass than the same volume of fluid.

 What is It

In the figure below (Figure 6), warm air above the land surface rises. This is
because the sun heats up land more quickly than water. When the air above land is
heated, it expands and begins to rise. The cooler air from above the surface of the sea
moves toward the land to replace the rising air. This movement of air creates a local
wind known as sea breeze. Sea breeze occurs at daytime and provides a cooling effect
on those near the shore.

Figure 7: Land Breeze

(Illustrated by: Ma. Sheila S. Manila)

At night, the land cools faster than the sea. Thus, the warm air above the sea
surface pulls in the cooler air from the land surface. This local wind is known as the
land breeze. Sea and land breezes over a large region that change direction with the
seasons are called monsoons.

What are Monsoons?

The local winds created from the differential heating of land and sea can also be
felt over a much larger geographic area or region. This is a major wind system known
as monsoons. Monsoons are characterized by a dramatic seasonal change in the
direction of the prevailing winds over a large area. This change in the direction of the
prevailing winds brings about changes in the amount of rainfall and leads to the distinct
wet and dry seasons. There are two kinds of monsoons which are experienced in the
country-the northeast monsoon and southwest monsoon.
The northeast monsoon locally known as amihan in the Philippines affects the eastern
parts of the country from October to March. This is brought by the cold air mass that
comes from Siberia and gathers moisture as it travels over the Pacific Ocean. Amihan is

19
CO_Q4_Science7_Module4
characterized by widespread cloudiness with slight to moderate rainfall and prevailing
cold winds.

The southwest monsoon or habagat affects the western part of the country from
July to September. It is characterized by heavy rainfall, humid weather and bring the
rainy season to the western parts of the country. Habagat is brought about by the cool
air from the high pressure area in the Australian continent absorbing moisture by
passing over the warm equatorial oceans. The air, now laden with water vapor, cools as
it moves north and as it rises over land. The air can no longer hold its moisture and falls
huge volume of rainfall.

Effect of Monsoons

 Monsoons can bring moderate to occasional heavy rains which can cause
flood in our country like what happened in some parts of Pigcawayan,
North Cotabato brought by typhoon Bising last April 19-20, 2021.

Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services

Administration (PAGASA) is the agency responsible for assessing and forecasting
weather, flood, and other conditions that are essentials for the safety of the people.

What is ITCZ?
The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) appears as a band of clouds
consisting of showers, with occasional thunderstorms, that encircles the globe near the
equator.

( https://www.slideshare.net/lhoralight/science-q3-q4)
Figure 10: ITCZ in January Figure 11: ITCZ in July

20
CO_Q4_Science7_Module4
 We always hear about the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) in weather
reports. ITCZ is the place where winds in the tropics meet or converge. Because the
equator is warmer than the North and South poles, the cooler air is drawn towards the
equator to replace the rising warm air. Vapor pressure condenses as air rises and cools
in the ITCZ, forming clouds and rain. This is where monsoon rainfall occurs.

pressure and directions of winds in different parts of the world. The letter L indicates
