1. What temperature criterion is used for defining an A climate? averge of and indicates the climate. 2. Use Figure 17.6 to plot the monthly temperature (using a red line) and precipitation data (using light blue bars) for Iquitos, Peru, an A climate, given in Table 17.3. (Note: Plot temperatures first.) Use the Iquitos, Peru, climograph to answer Questions 3-6 3. What is the annual temperature range (the difference between the highest and lowest average monthly temperatures) for Iquitos? 2.3 "C 4. Why are month-to-month temperature changes so small for A climates? Because of seasonal fluctuations. Notice that Iquitos receives an average of 2619 mm of precipitation per year. How many inches of precipitation per year would this equal? How many feet? (Hint: Refer to the conversion tables located on the inside back cover of this manual.) 2619 mm = ft in- 6. Is the precipitation at Iquitos concentrated in one season or distributed fairly evenly throughout the year? It is distributed throughout the year. Use the world climate map shown in Figure 17.5 to answer Questions 7 and 8. 7. In what latitude belt are A climates located? Latitude belt: 8. Considering the locations of A climates, would weather fronts produced by the interaction of continental polar (CP) and maritime tropical (mT) air be responsible for the precipitation? Explain your answer. No, because fronts could not travel that for. Precipitation is from Convergence of tode winds.
