A climate graph is a graph in which temperature and precipitation are both represented on the same graph. In these examples below the temperature is on the right in Celsius and the precipitation is represented by a bar graph on the left in millimeters. Take a look at a couple of the major biomes and see what their climber graphs look like.

Desert

First is a desert this desert is pretty easy to recognize. The temperatures are either warm or hot and they don't fluctuate a lot during the year but mainly take a look at the rainfall. There is very little or no _______ throughout the year.



Grassland

Next is a grassland of North America. There's little rain in the winter and then a fair amount in the _______ . From the shape of the temperature graph, you can see that they have four seasons. They have cold winters and hot summers.

Savanna

This next graph is a savanna and you can notice that the temperatures are _______ between warm and hot and that they have a rainy and _______ season.

Rainforest

The rainforest is very easy to figure out because notice that there is very little _______ in temperature and a tremendous amount of rainfall.





Deciduous Forest

The deciduous forest is next. It has a temperature graph that you can see in which the winters aren't frigid and bitter and the summers aren't super hot. Rain will fall _______ year.

Taiga

Compare this to a taiga and it's very similar to the deciduous forests but the winters are _______ and the summers are not quite as hot.

Tundra

Finally the tundra is where we find the coldest temperatures. It only warms up in the summer to _______ or fifteen degrees Celsius. Most of the rain is in the summer but it's pretty steady. So there we go some climate graphs of the major biomes.
