1. Examine the climographs. What is the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures in the climograph for each city?
Chile:
Temperature: Very humid, most likely dry, since it is in the desert.
The highest would be around 74 degrees and the lowest would be 60.
Norway:
Temperature:
The temperature is at middle ranges but can drop to be cold. The lowest would be 25 and the highest would be 58.
Normal amounts of rainfall is regulated through out Norway.
Japan:
Temperature:
The temperature is very dramatic. From levels around 43 can increase to 80 during the year then drop back down again.
There is very high rainfall surprisingly due to the climate ranges and changes. They can go up to 8 inches in rain during the summer time.
2.Which city is the desert and how can you tell?
Chile is more like a desert due to lack of rainfall.
3. Take a closer look at the Arica, Chile climograph. What can you tell about the seasons and the months? How is this related to the hemisphere where Arica is located?
In Chile, it never rains and the temperatures can get very high. This can result in a cold current near by, causing it to get hotter.
4. Is there a relationship between the temperature of the ocean current and the coastal climate?
Depends on the location
5. Is there a relationship between the direction of the ocean current and the coastal climate?
Yes
6. In general, on which side of the ocean basins are the cold currents? Warm currents?
South of the globe are cold currents
Near the equator and above the Northern Hemisphere are warm currents
7. What can you infer about the climate of each region by reviewing these climographs?
The location on the Earth gives us a good estimation on climate changes and weather patterns.
