1. Climatographs
Represent biomes and climates of different regions

2. Features
Average monthly temperature and precipitation, averaged over about 30 years
Temperature is always a line graph
Precipitation is always a bar graph
Months = x axis
T and ppt =y axis
T = LH scale
ppt = RH scale
What biome is this?

3. Assignment
1) Label the 6 biomes on the Activity Sheet “Biomes of the World.” DON’T USE YOUR BOOK (DON”T CHEAT!), but you can use your notes from yesterday! 2) Investigation 11-A, pg. 405, “Make a Climatograph”.

4. Making a Climatograph
Mark 12 equal intervals on the x-axis. Label each interval with the first letter of each month (eg – J F M A M J J A S O N D)
On the left vertical axis mark 9 equal intervals starting at 0 and ending at 180. (intervals = 20). Label this axis precipitation (mm).
On the right vertical axis mark seven equal intervals beginning with -35°C and ending at +25°C. (intervals = 10). Label this axis temperature (°C).
Enter all of the data and add the title:
