4. The amount of water vapor in the air is referred to as ____________.

5. Air is a __________________ with molecules that are always in random motion.

6.____________provide an indication of dynamic nature of our atmosphere.

7. The low pressure causes the rising _________of air to expand.

8. The cold months are from _____________to____________.

9. Dry from _______________ to April and wet for the rest of the year.

10. There is almost no difference between ___________and _______ seasons.

11. ___________is evenly distributed throughout the year.

12. __________ season all throughout the year.

True or false:

Direction: Here are some true and false statements. Write X if the statement is true and O if the
statement is false right the answer at the left column of each item.

______1. An Italian mathematician by the name of Evangelista Torricelli made a precise

measurement of atmospheric pressure using his invention known as mercury barometer.

______2. The molecules of air in our atmosphere are uniformly distributed.

______3. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101 325N/M2.

______4. Pressure at higher levels is therefore lower than at sea level.

______5. Weather men, or meteorologists, use another unit of measurement for reading
atmospheric pressure. It is called hector Pascal (hPa).

______6. The winter months from December to the middle of February.

_______7. We have the north east monsoon which we refer to as hanging amihan.

_______8. From June to about November, low pressure prevails over northwestern Inadia and
Pakistan.

_______9. Air tends to flow outward from this low-pressure area toward the high pressure area
over the North Pacific Ocean.

_______10. The Philippines experiences winds coming the southeast.

_______11. Unequal heating of Earth’s surface results in differences in temperature.

_______12. Warm air in the heated areas expands and rises leading to a lowering of pressure at
the surface.

_______13. The pressure difference leads to the movement of air at the surface, which we refer
to as wind.

_______14. Wind speed is generally in kilometer per hour (kph) or in metres per second (m/s).

_______15. Wind flows an area of lower pressure to an area of high pressure.
