Question

what do the two axes of this bar graph represent?

Explanation:

Bar graphs typically have an x - axis (horizontal) and a y - axis (vertical). In a bar graph showing data about tornadoes in different cities, the x - axis is used to list the different categories (in this case, the cities). The y - axis is used to represent the numerical values related to the categories (the average number of tornadoes).

Answer:

The x - axis represents the cities (Clearwater, FL; Oklahoma City, OK; Tampa - St. Petersburg, FL; Houston, TX; Tulsa, OK; New Orleans, LA; Melbourne, FL; Indianapolis, IN; Fort Worth, TX; Lubbock, TX). The y - axis represents the average number of tornadoes.
