How would you describe the temperature in an arctic climate (Nuuk, Greenland) compared to a tropical climate (Nosy Be, Madagascar)?
How would you describe the temperature in an arctic climate (Nuuk, Greenland) compared to a tropical climate (Nosy Be, Madagascar)?
Using data tables or graphs are an easy way to compare the climates of two different regions visually. An arctic environment is freezing, and on the y-axis, the highest average temperature is less than 50oF. When reviewing the graph for Madagascar, which is in a tropical climate, the temperature does not fall below 80oF, which is a big difference. Using this information, one can conclude that an arctic environment has much lower temperatures on average than a tropical climate.

How would you describe the temperature in a tropical climate (Nosy Be, Madagascar) compared to a temperate climate (Omaha, Nebraska)?
How would you describe the temperature in a tropical climate (Nosy Be, Madagascar) compared to a temperate climate (Omaha, Nebraska)?
A tropical and temperate climate are very different from each other. The tropical climate is consistent, and temperatures only range from around 83oF t0 90oF, whereas in the temperate zone, there is a more significant fluctuation of temperatures from about 45oF to nearly 90oF. A tropical climate has higher temperatures than a temperate zone, and the temperatures do not vary as greatly.

Which answer choice is the best description of the climate in a temperate zone based on the graphs provided?
Temperate zones are known for their varying temperatures and amounts of precipitation. There are four distinct seasons, and this can be noticed on the graphs. The temperatures increase and decrease throughout the year, with summer being the warmest and winter is the coldest. The amount of rainfall is at its peak during the summer months and falls in the winter.

Madagascar is in a tropical climate. It is warm all year and rainy during the hottest months, which is summer. Summer in Madagascar falls between December and March, and temperatures hover around 88oF with up to 18 inches of rain in one month. The temperatures decrease to the lower 80s in the winter months, and the rainfall drops to less than an inch.

What type of characteristics would be included in a description of the climate in a region?
What type of characteristics would be included in a description of the climate in a region?
Many characteristics can describe the climate of a region. These characteristics can be measured over many years to identify the different patterns within the data to make predictions about future weather conditions. A few of the particular weather condition measurements that may be collected are temperature, humidity, wind speed, and air pressure.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration describes the five main types of climates. They are:
A: Tropical. In this hot and humid zone, the average temperatures are higher than 64°F (18°C) year-round, and there are more than 59 inches of precipitation each year.
B: Dry. These climate zones are so dry because moisture is rapidly evaporated from the air, and there is very little precipitation.
C: Temperate. In this zone, there are typically warm and humid summers with thunderstorms and mild winters.
D. Continental. These regions have warm to cool summers and very cold winters. In the winter, this zone can experience snowstorms, strong winds, and very cold temperatures—sometimes falling below -22°F (-30°C)!
E: Polar. In the polar climate zones, it’s extremely cold. Even in summer, the temperatures here never go higher than 50°F (10°C)!
Which climate zone is NOT found in the United States?

Which climate zone is NOT found in the United States?
The climate zone NOT found in the United States is the polar zone. The polar climates zones are freezing and harsh places to live. The United States is a vast landmass and covers a good church of the Earth, leading to four of the five climate zones represented.

This map of the climate zones breaks them down across the map by region. Africa falls into two different climate zones but is mostly tropical. The weather in tropical climate zones is very hot, there is very high humidity, and precipitation is frequent. This map helps readers to see how the world is broken up by climate zones.

The majority of the United States is found in the temperate climate zone. Alaska is located in the polar region, and Florida is in a tropical area. Florida is humid, warm, and receives a lot of rainfall because it is closer to the equator than other parts of the United States. Alaska is located far to the North and closer to the North Pole than other parts of the United States.

The year is split into four seasons. Spring is characterized by cooler temperatures that start to increase as it gets closer to summer. The summer is hot. The fall begins to cool down, and lower temperatures are noticeable as winter approaches. In the wintertime, temperatures are at the lowest, and it is frigid.

Spring leads up to summer, so it would have lower temperatures than summer. Season 1 is spring because it meets all the criteria described, and when reviewing the graph, it would be the most reasonable response.
