1st Procedure
Predict what climate you would expect of each place listed.
1. Trondheim, Norway: warm.
2. Tokyo, Japan: in the middle of hot and cold.
3. Arica, Chile: hot.

3. Arica, Chile: hot.
2nd Procedure
Graph the temperature and precipitation on each climograph for each city.
Graph the temperature and precipitation on each climograph for each city.
Conclusion:
. Examine the climographs. What is the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures in the climograph for each city?-
+Tokyo, Japan: 81 - 42= 39
+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.
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 during in the Northern Hemisphere it would be colder. This is so, because the seasons are reversed in the Southern and Northern Hemisphere.
4. Is there a relationship between the temperature of the ocean current and the costal climate?
- Yes, the temperature of the ocean current and the costal climate do have a relationship. With warm currents, the air is warm and moist. With cold currents, the air is dry.
5. Is there a relationship between the direction of the ocean current and the costal climate?
- Yes, the direction of the ocean current and the costal climate do have a relationship. The ocean currents from the coast affects 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. The west side of the ocean basins are where the warm currents are.
7. What can you infer about the climate of each region by reviewing these climographs?
- Tokyo is a place in between warm and cold with a good amount of precipitation. Trondheim is a warm place. Arica is a desert, so it is very humid there.
