29.
The air on the windward side will be cooler and more humid due
to adiabatic cooling as the air rises and expands.
30. Warm water is coming from the equator, where solar radiation is
most intense, causing warmer surface waters. The Coriolis effect
deflects these currents, creating the clockwise (Northern
Hemisphere) and counterclockwise (Southern Hemisphere)
patterns.
31. The air temperature in the southeastern part of Japan will
increase due to the warm Kuroshio Current.
32. The climate of Manta, Ecuador will be most affected by its
proximity to the Pacific Ocean, resulting in a tropical climate with
high humidity and relatively stable temperatures.
33. This question requires a figure or data to answer.
34. When there are fluctuations in the amount of radiation from the
sun, the Earth's temperature will change accordingly; increased
radiation leads to warming, and decreased radiation leads to
cooling.
35. The best description of the effect of rising greenhouse gases is
an increase in global average temperatures, leading to climate
change and its associated consequences.
36. El Niño is best described as a climate pattern characterized by
unusually warm ocean temperatures in the central and eastern
tropical Pacific Ocean, affecting global weather patterns.
37. Global average temperature data from 1880 to 2000 shows a
general warming trend, with a significant increase in temperature
towards the end of the period. (Specific data would need to be
researched and included)
38. The relationship between carbon dioxide and temperature during
glacial cycles shows a strong positive correlation: higher carbon
dioxide concentrations are associated with higher temperatures,
and vice versa.
39. La Niña's effect is characterized by cooler-than-normal sea
surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific,
leading to altered weather patterns globally, often opposite to those
of El Niño.
40. Climate change is a long-term alteration in Earth's average
weather patterns, primarily attributed to human activities increasing
greenhouse gas emissions.
41. An indication of global warming is the rising global average
temperature, accompanied by melting glaciers and ice caps, rising
sea levels, and more frequent extreme weather events.
42. The pattern used by astronomers in locating stars is called
celestial coordinates, using right ascension and declination.
43. This question requires a figure to answer.
44. Polaris is included in the constellation Ursa Minor (Little Dipper)
45. This question requires knowledge of seasonal constellations.
46. This question requires knowledge of constellations visible in the
Philippines during different seasons.
47. This question requires information on the Matigsalug Manobo's
observations of Gemini.
48. Ursa Major (Great Bear) is the constellation known as the Great
Bear with seven stars, most visible during summer in the northern
sky.
49. Stars have colors due to their surface temperature; hotter stars
appear blue or white, while cooler stars appear red or orange.
50. As the Earth rotates on its axis, the constellations seem to move
across the night sky from east to west.
