Refer
to your notes for chapter six and several of the climographs shown in that
chapter of your textbook for help in answering questions on the data.
1. Convert the temperature and precipitation
data currently in centimeters and degrees C into inches and degrees F (bring
the converted data). After that graph the temperature and precipitation data
for each of the stations A-D on graph sheets to create a climograph for each
station.
Conversion
formula:
a)
Precipitation: 2.54 centimeters = I
inch
b)
Temperature: F = (C x 1.8) + 32
C = (F – 32) /1.8
