3. Thunderstorms - is a storm characterized by strong winds, short- period heavy rains that generally last for one to two hours, with lightning and thunder.

O True
O False

8. Winds -is a continuous change in the direction of the prevailing winds blowing at a particular direction. Our country experiences two distinct monsoons, thenortheast and the southwest monsoons.

O True
O False

9. Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITZC) -The northeast trade winds may move over an elongated low-pressure area, formingan easterly wind. Low Pressure Area (LPA)-warm air rises, cools down and condenses into clouds.High Pressure Area (HPA) - air presses downwards, causing the air on the surface to be dry, this indicates a fair weather.

O True
O False

10. Easterly Winds -is the area near the equator where the trade winds from North and South Hemisphere meet. The two trade winds create a band of clouds that bring heavy rainfall.

O True
O False
