In Part 1 of this assignment, you will begin by producing a line graph that depicts the change in temperature by altitude above Earth’s surface. In the table to the right, you will find temperatures for various altitudes above Earth’s surface. Plot the temperatures on the graph page located on the Assignment 2 Word Document.
Once you have plotted your points, connect them with a line. Then, mark the following labels on your chart:
Troposphere, Mesopause, Thermosphere, Stratopause, Stratosphere, Tropopause, Ozone Layer, Mesopause
Finally, answer the Part 1 questions based on your analysis of the data and the assigned course readings.
Unit 2 Assignment Part 1
Note: In the course reading, the altitudes are listed in miles above Earth’s surface. You will need to convert miles to kilometers to complete labeling of the graph on your Assignment 2 Word Document. 1 mile = 1.60934 kilometers.
Part 2
In Part 2 of this assignment, you will access two video clips shown below. One will be about hurricane formation, and the other will be about the deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history. After going through the videos, answer the associated questions on your Unit 2 Assignment Word Document.
In Part 3 of this assignment, you will begin by producing a series of climographs. Then, you will extrapolate information from the data that is displayed.
A climograph is a graph that shows the annual cycle of temperature and precipitation averages for a geographic region. The x-axis of your graphs will display the months of the year. There will be two opposing y-axis values, for precipitation (in inches) and temperature (in °F).

Remember that climate data is based on the average values of a geographic region over long periods of time. A “climate normal” is the average over a period of at least 30 years within a region. You will be using climate data over a 30-year period in three locations to produce your climographs.
The technological tool you will be using today is Google Sheets. In order to use Google Sheets, it may be necessary to create a Google Account. This can be done with either a personal account or with your Broward College school account.
Given are three compiled datasets. These datasets show climate “normals” within specific regions. A climate normal is a three-decade average of climatological variables, including temperature and precipitation. It is displayed on a monthly basis. So, where it says Month 01, the Mean column shows the average temperature for all Januarys over a 30 year period. Our data will consist of climate normals from 1981-2010.
Using the available sets of data, produce three climographs with Google Sheets. Use the Mean column only from each dataset. Follow the video tutorial for creating a climograph on Google Sheets. Then, take screenshots of each of your climographs and insert them into your Microsoft Word document. Finally, complete the associated analysis questions on your Microsoft Word document.
