1st Procedure
Predict what climate you would expect of each place listed.
1. Trondheim, Norway is COLD!
2. Tokyo, Japan has warm and moist summers, but equally cold winters.
3. Arica, Chile is hot. AND DRY!

1. Examine the climographs. What is the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures in the climograph for each city?
~ The climographs differences of low and high:
Tokyo, Japan: 81 - 42= 39 highest difference: Tokyo.
Arica, Chile: 74 - 62= 12
Trondheim, Norway: 57 - 25= 32
2. Which city is a desert? How can you tell?
~ Arica, Chile is like a desert, because there is no precipitation there.

~ Arica, Chile is like a desert, because there is no precipitation there.
My First Climatogram: Arica, Chile 60 degrees W
Arica is in the Atacama desert, the driest place on earth, so as you can see, there is no rainfall at all. The temperature varies slightly over the year ( hotter to colder since it is the Southern Hemisphere) with the high being about 75, and the low being 60.

Graph no. 2: Trondheim, Norway.
Well, Here you go.
A climate that is generally cold and dry, with a large difference in yearly highs and lows, so it must be very far north of the equator.

3. Take a closer look at the Arica, Chile climograph. What can you tell about the seasons and the months? How is this related to the hemisphere where Arica is located?
~ In Arica, it would be warmer during January, February, November, and December, but here in the Northern Hemisphere it would be colder. This is because the seasons are essentially reversed in the Southern and Northern Hemisphere.
4. Is there a relationship between the temperature of the ocean current and the coastal climate?
~ Yes, the temperature of the ocean current and the coastal climate do have a relationship. With warm currents, the air is warm and moist. With cold currents, the air is dry and denser.
5. Is there a relationship between the direction of the ocean current and the coastal climate?
~ Yes, the direction of the ocean current and the coastal climate do have a relationship. The ocean currents from the coast effects how the air will be on land.
6. In general, on which side of the ocean basins are the cold currents? Warm currents?
~ The east side of the ocean basins is where the cold currents are.
7. What can you infer about the climate of each region by reviewing these climographs?
~ Tokyo is a slightly warm place, but with seasons with varying temperature, and a large amount of precipitation. Trondheim is a cold, fairly dry place. Arica is a desert, so it is dry and hot there.
