“(a) How much colder is a San Diego than Belem in January, in July and in which location has the greatest range of temperature through the year and how much do the two locations differ in precipitation during their wettest months. (b) Compare the temperature and precipitation in two places with those in the other biomes and how wet are the wettest biomes and which biomes have distinct dry seasons and how do rainfall and length of warm seasons explain vegetation conditions in these biomes”.

Answer to Problem 1AL
The vegetation in San Diego is less diverse because of the temperature and less rate of precipitation. The vegetation in Belem and Brazil would be more diverse.
Explanation of Solution
The climate graph depicts the annual pattern of average rainfall and temperature. According to the graph it is depicted that in low temperature the rate of precipitation is high and when the rate of precipitation is low then the temperature will be high. Hence, there is an indirect relationship between the temperature and precipitation
In January the colder temperature of San Diego is about
“According to the given graph, it is predicted that the San Diego has the greatest range of temperature throughout the year”.
The two wettest month is December and January and the difference in the rate of the precipitation is about
The temperature and precipitation of Philadelphia are about
The Belem has the greatest rate of precipitation that is about
The biome present in San Deigo shows the distinct dry seasons.
The vegetation in arid dry region of San Diego would be less diverse because of less rainfall and warmer temperature while in Belem and Brazil would be lush vegetation because they have a higher range of precipitation and colder temperature.
