Climatographs

Climate is a huge influence on the characteristic in any particular biome and each biome has a distinctly unique climate.
Desserts are pretty dry where as rain forests are pretty wet. The boreal forest has big extremes in temperature, but a different range of extremes from the Tundra.  Because of these factors, different plants and animals are able to live successfully in these different environments.

Reading climate graphs or climatographs gives us an overview of the specific climate in an area, and helps us understand the conditions that permit specific life to thrive.

In class, you completed pages 30-31 in your text -drawing and analyzing climatographs.  These graphs and questions are due in class this week.
