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.

Weather and climate are two different terms but often confused. Climate refers to the weather conditions that are occurring in a specific area over a long time. The conditions have been studied every January for many years, and it is always snowy. Scientists and meteorologists can predict that the upcoming Januarys will be snowy based on this information.

How could these two graphs about the precipitation and average temperatures be used to obtain information about climates?
Obtaining and combining information about weather conditions is a way to gather information about the climate of different parts of the world. These graphs can be used to look for patterns. There may be connections between different months' temperature and precipitation, or there may be patterns within the months that can be used for predicting future weather. These graphs give valuable information that can be used for tracking, monitoring, and comparing.

This statement is true. Weather patterns are recorded and analyzed for trends and predictions. If scientists record information in a place over many years, they can find similarities or differences in the data that will help them predict what the weather will be like in that area for years to come. People rely on climate records to draw conclusions about the weather in an area.

This graph is an excellent example of how obtaining data about weather conditions can help to provide information about the climate. The data is showing an increase in temperatures overtime in Tampa, Florida. Due to this trend, scientists can guess that the temperature will continue to increase over the upcoming decades as well. Using information obtained about weather or climate conditions can help with predictions about future patterns.

Justin is planning a vacation from his hometown of Los Angelos, California, to Greenland to visit the beautiful scenery. It will be winter in Greenland when he is there, so he has to figure out what to pack and wear. What is the best way for him to obtain this information?
For Justin's trip, he needs to know what the weather will be like during the winter in Greenland. If he looks at the current weather conditions and it is not immediately before his trip, he is likely to pack for the wrong season. Justin should not let his social media followers pick his outfits because they are probably unfamiliar with the climate of Greenland and would base opinions on appearance rather than the weather. Justin should look up what the climate is like during the winter in Greenland and get an idea of the average temperatures and precipitation rates. This would give him a picture of what to expect during the trip.
