Use the information in the graphs to practice identifying climate conditions for each location based on the data
provided in the graphs.
For each graph make sure to complete the following:



Place a star next to the Y-axis that tells you the temperature (make sure to take note of units)
Place a check mark next to the Y-axis that tells you the amount of precipitation
In the box provided indicate the annual temperature range for the location

For this last one you will graph the data.
(EXTRA CREDIT)
This is a Marine (Coastal) city located in
the Southern hemisphere
 Draw a general temperature line
for a city that is located in the
Southern Hemisphere and is
coastal

Create precipitation predictions
for a city that is located on a coast
in a marine environment.
