1. What is shown in the picture?
2. Where can you use this kind
of map?
3. What information are needed
for you to give the exact
location of a certain place in
the map?
4. How do longitude and
latitude differ?
5. What do you call the point
where longitude and latitude
meet?
• What phenomenon
comes into your
mind when you see
this kind of map?
Why?
Let’s Compare

How typhoons develop
The Philippine
• explain how typhoons
Environment develop;
• infer why the Philippines is
• Location of
prone to typhoons;
the Philippines • explain how landmasses
using a and bodies of water affect
coordinate typhoons;
system • trace the path of typhoons
that enter the Philippine
Area of Responsibility (PAR)
using a map and tracking
data
 Lesson Objectives
1. plot the given longitude and latitude of a
tropical cyclone in the PAR map.
2. trace the path of typhoon that enters the
Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR)
using a map and tracking data (S8ES-IIF-
21).
3. Explain how to track the path of a tropical
cyclone that enters the Philippine Area of
Responsibility (PAR)
4. create a scenario where tracking of
typhoons is useful
Let’s Track
Materials:
 PAR Map
 Copy of longitude and latitude of a
tropical cyclone
 Markers
 Metacards
 Adhesive tape
Let’s Track
What to do:
1. Plot the given points/coordinates in
your PAR Map. Label each point.
Also indicate the wind speed.
2. Connect the plotted points.
3. Formulate questions where the
answers can be derived from the
graph you constructed in the PAR
Map.

Let’s Analyze
Questions to ponder

When can we say that a tropical cyclone has

entered the PAR?
 Questions to ponder
Given the storm track coordinates tell
whether the typhoon is inside or outside
the PAR.
Latitude Longitude Inside/ Outside
ON OE PAR

1. 19.3 108.1 outside

2. 10.6 127 inside
3. 6.4 156 outside
4. 12.4 118 inside
5. 7.4 139.6 outside
It’s Showtime!

What do you think is the importance of

tracing the path of a tropical cyclone?

 How much have you learned?

 Using the storm track coordinates of tropical cyclone

Haiyan, answer the following questions:
• When and where did the tropical cyclone enter the PAR?
• What is the new name of the tropical cyclone as it enters
the PAR?
• What is the category of the tropical cyclone as it enters
the PAR?
• What are the coordinates when the tropical cyclone
leaves the Philippines?
• Does the category of the tropical cyclone remains the
same as it leaves the PAR? Why?

 Let’s Check
When and where did the typhoon enter the
PAR?
- November 6, 2013, North of Palau Island
What is the new name of the typhoon as it
enters the PAR?
- Yolanda
What is the category of the tropical cyclone as
it enters the PAR?
- Super typhoon
 Let’s Check
What are the coordinates when the tropical
cyclone leaves the Philippines?
- 13.50 N, 114.80 E
Does the category of the tropical cyclone
remains the same as it leaves the PAR? Why?
-No, the tropical cyclone weakened as it hit
the land
