• 0° and 30°N
• 30°N and 30°S
• 0° and 60°S
• 60°N and 60°S 

DAY 028 CW (p.129)

• 15°N
• 30°N
• 0° 
• 60°N 

DAY 028 CW (p.129)
It can be concluded that city C is located in the Southern Hemisphere because city C has

• small amounts of precipitation throughout the year
• its warmest temperatures in January and February
• large amounts of precipitation throughout the year
• its warmest temperatures in July and August 

DAY 028 Exit Task (p. 130) 
What evidence shown on the graph indicates that city X is located in the Southern Hemisphere? [1] 

• The highest temperatures of the year happen in Jan/Feb.
• The lowest temperatures of the year happen in Jan/Feb.
• The highest temperatures of the year happen in June/July.
• None of these

DAY 028 Exit Task (p. 130) 
State whether the climate of city X is dry or wet. Then, determine the most likely location of city X. 
 
HINT: Use ESRT X for this.

• Wet - 60°N
• Dry - 30°S
• Wet - 60°S
• Dry - 30°N

DAY 028 Exit Task (p. 130)
