IN THIS LESSON:
You will learn what information a climagraph contains.
You will describe an area’s climate using a climagraph.
You will construct a climagraph from given data.

WHAT IS A CLIMATE GRAPH?
A climate graph combines a line graph with a bar graph to give information about an area’s climate.
The line graph shows average monthly temperature.
The bar graph shows how much precipitation an area receives in one month.

WHAT DOES IT SHOW?
The left hand y-axis shows us temperature, and is used with the line graph.
The right hand y-axis shows us inches of precipitation, and is used with the bar graph.
The x-axis is labeled with the months of the year.

TEMPERATURE
What month has the highest average temperature?
What month has the lowest average temperature?
Describe the overall temperature pattern in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

WHY:
Look at the “North and South America: Political” map on page 534.
Locate Sao Paulo How does the city’s location explain its
temperature pattern?

Sao Paulo is located near the ocean.
Coastal locations often have mild temperatures that don’t fluctuate seasonally

PRECIPITATION
What month receives the most rainfall?
What month receive the least rainfall?

NOW YOU PRACTICE
Complete #1-6 of the practice sheet- use a sheet of paper.
You have 6 minutes, then we will discuss.

LOOK AT THIS CLIMAGRAPH:
What climate zone is this location probably in?
How do you know? What would a
climagraph from polar region look like?
![Page 13: Silently read page 48. If you finish, read it again](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e425503460f94b35868/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NOW APPLY THE SKILL.
We will create a climagraph for Charleston, South Carolina.
We will use the data on page 49.
You need to follow my directions carefully.
