QUESTIONS:QUESTIONS:• How do you think location (latitude and longitude)
affects the weather on each Pacific island?• How does temperature and precipitation differ in
Guam and Fiji? How are they similar?• Why is the weather at the Aleutian Islands different
from the weather found at Guam and Fiji?• What kind of climate region (tropical, dry, moderate,
continental, polar) can you expect to see if you visit Guam? Fiji? the Aleutian Islands?
• How is the weather graph you created similar to a climograph?
• How does this weather graph differ from a climograph?

ClimographsClimographs• Summarize the climate of a location on a
single diagram.• Average monthly temperature and
precipitation in a given location are plotted in a single graph.
• Temperature is plotted using a line graph.• Precipitation is shown using a bar graph.• Both graphs are placed on a single graph
to create a climograph.
