Front

What is a climatogram?

Back

A climatogram is a graphical representation of the average temperature and precipitation in a specific area over a period of time, typically a year.

Front

What does a desert climatogram typically show?

Back

A desert climatogram typically shows low precipitation (less than 250 mm per year) and high temperatures, with a significant difference between day and night temperatures.

Front

What temperature range is typical for a tundra biome?

Back

The temperature line for a tundra biome is typically lower, mostly around 10°C and -10°C.

Front

How does precipitation in a tundra biome compare to a desert?

Back

Precipitation in a tundra biome is generally higher than in a desert, often slightly above 250 mm per year.

Front

What is the main characteristic of a tropical rainforest climatogram?

Back

A tropical rainforest climatogram shows high and consistent precipitation (over 140 mm per year) and a temperature line around 25°C.

Front

What is the temperature range for a taiga biome?

Back

The temperature line for a taiga biome is typically lower, often around or below freezing.

Front

How does the precipitation in a taiga biome compare to a desert?

Back

The precipitation in a taiga biome is much higher than in a desert, often exceeding 140 mm per year.

Front

What is the significance of the temperature line in a climatogram?

Back

The temperature line indicates the average temperature for each month, helping to identify the climate type of the region.

Front

What does a high and consistent temperature line indicate in a climatogram?

Back

A high and consistent temperature line typically indicates a tropical climate, such as that found in tropical rainforests.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and precipitation in a desert biome?

Back

In a desert biome, low precipitation is accompanied by high temperatures, leading to arid conditions.
