Activity 4-Simple Recall Direction: Recall one super typhoon that hits a certain region in the country, and explain how are the landmasses or the bodies of water of that certain area contribute to the formation of that super typhoon and the devastation it caused.

SUMMARY

A typhoon develops when winds blow into areas of the ocean where the water is warm. These winds gather moisture and rise, while colder air moves in below. This creates pressure, which causes the winds to maneuver very quickly. The winds rotate, or spin, around a center called a watch fixed. The warmer air and moisture there's, the more intense the winds. Landforms and bodies of water on and round the Philippines affect the strength or weakness of weather phenomenon like typhoons. Remarkably, landforms reduce the strength of typhoons whenever the winds impact them. Additionally, oceans, wherein the typhoons originate, provide advanced rainfall and strength. Large bodies of water, like oceans, seas and large lakes, can affect the climate of a section. Water heats and cools more gradually than landmasses. Therefore, the coastal regions will stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter, thus producing a more moderate climate with a narrower temperature range​
