General Instructions
  1. Construct a climatogram for the data in Table 1.1. You will be instructed which on to make.
  2. Follow the direction on the page three to make the climatogram.
  3. Be sure that you save the data and graph you make to your H drive. You will also need to print the table and graph that you have constructed.
  4. Using the data in Table 1.2 construct a climatogram that you have been assigned. You may do a third one for bonus points if you wish.

Number 1 is a Tropical deciduous Forest in Cuiaba’, Brazil

Number 2 is a Chaparral in Santa Monica, California.

Number 3 is a Savanna in Moshi, Tanzania. This would be a prairie or grassland in the U.S. or a Pampas in South

America. Number 4 is a Tropical Desert in Aden, Aden.

Below are climatograms that show the average monthly temperatures in 0C and the average monthly precipitation in

centimeters (cm). The name of the biome and the location is at the top of the climatogram. You will use this information at a later time.

The graphs you generate should look very similar to the ones below!  OOPS!  Scanning in process!
