Climograph• Graph that indicates
average temperature and precipitation for a place.
• Line Graph shows temperature
• Bar Graph shows precipitation
If the line graph goes up in the middle – it is showing a place in the northern hemisphere.
If the line graph goes down in the middle – it is showing a place in the southern hemisphere.
If the line is fairly straight – it is showing a place that is near or on the Equator.

•Description – hot and wet throughout the year.
•Precipitation Wet – 80 + inches a year - Rains daily
• Temperatures about 80 all year
• vegetation - Lush and diverse – 6% of earth, but more than half the plant and animal species. Canopy – layers of broadleaf evergreen trees.
Leaching – continuous rain pulls the nutrients out of the soil (not arable)

• Description – dry, largely treeless grassland.
•Location – Low & mid latitudes. Border deserts & interior of continents (leeward side)
•Precipitation 10 – 20 inches a year
• Vegetation - Grassland with few trees or cactus. Desertification - spread of desert-like conditions to semi-arid areas is a serious problem in the Steppe

• Description – snow and ice cover this area up to 2 miles thick
•Polar night – 6 months a year the sun does not rise above the horizon (24 hours dark)
•Polar desert – moisture in the air does not reach the dew point, so it does not precipitate. Far away from Equator (dry & cold as move away)
•Temperature: Below freezing all year - Many months below zero.
•Vegetation: Possibly lichen and moss

• Located in mountain systems throughout the world
• Precipitation – affected by the Orographic Effect. Leeward is dry – windward is wet.
• Temperature – varies with elevation – for every 1,000 feet increase in elevation the temperature decreases 3.5
• Vegetation – usually mixed forests at the base. Meadows with small trees, shrubs, and wildflowers line the mountainsides.
