Tropical Depression

* Today I learned that Tropical Depression is a tropical depression is an organized system of clouds and thunderstorms with a defined, closed surface circulation and maximum sustained winds of less than 34 knots (39 mph). It has no eye and does not typically have the organization or the spiral shape of more powerful storms. However, it is already a low-pressure system, hence the name "depression".The practice of the Philippines is to name tropical depressions from their own naming convention when the depressions are within the Philippines' area of responsibility.


* This information will help me in knowing what are the signs of a typhoon.


* I would like to know more about it's possible effects and it's causes.


* As a science class student, the knowledge I gained about this can help me and also my classmates and other people around the world.

MONSOON RAINS

• Today I learned that MONSOON is traditionally defined as a seasonal reversing wind precipitation, but is now used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with the asymmetric heating of land and sea.Usually, the term monsoon is used to refer to the rainy phase of a seasonally-changing pattern, although technically there is also a dry phase.
• I will apply my learnings about MONSOON in order for me to be aware about the effects of the monsoon rains.
• Learning about MONSOON is important because I can be knowledgeable, ready and prepared.
• On a larger scale I will share my learnings to others for them to know what my learnings about Monsoon.
•  I need to learn more about MONSOON because it is a phenomenon that affects everyone including ME :).
