Baguio: Elevation and Climate Insights

This document discusses the relationship between altitude and temperature. It provides a table showing that higher elevation cities like Baguio have cooler average annual temperatures compared to lower elevation cities like Manila. Specifically, it states that for every 1000 meters increase in elevation, there is a 6.5 degree Celsius drop in temperature. Higher altitudes have less dense, less heat-absorbent air, causing temperatures to be lower.

height of something
above sea level.

The Colder”
TABLE 1
Different Cities in the
Philippines and Their
Annual Average
Temperature
Elevation above Sea Annual Average
Name of Place
level (m) Temperature (°C)

Bacolod 10 27.5

Baguio 1400 16.0

Which place is
the coldest?
Which place is
the hottest?
What is the
relationship
between altitude
and temperature
of a place?
The altitude
of a place will
affect the air
temperature.
Why do mountain
climbers wear
jackets and thick
clothes when they
go up the
mountain?
For every 1000 m
in elevation, there
is a drop of 6.5°C
in temperature.
At higher elevations,
there is less air. The air
molecules are farther
apart, thus making the
air less dense.
Lighter air cannot
absorb much heat,
making air
temperature lower.
Mt. Kilimanjaro is
located in Africa and
found near the
equator. It stands
5895m above sea level.
Why is
Baguio city
referred to
as summer
capital of
the
Philippines?
Because many people
visit Baguio due to the
cold climate there. It has
an annual average
temperature of 16°C. It
has an elevation of 1435m
above sea level.
RELATIONSHIP:
“As the altitude
increases, the air
temperature
decreases .”
MEANING,
“When the place is
high, the climate is
cold.”
SIMILARLY,
“When the place is
low, the climate is
warm.”
WORD HUNT:
Direction:

something
above sea level.
5. High altitude;
_______ climate.
6. Low altitude;
_______ climate.
7. Hottest city in

ASSIGNMENT:
Aside from Mt.
Kilimanjaro, look for other
places with cold climate
among countries found
near the equator.
