Question

1. a biome’s climate can be described by a graph of its average monthly temperature and average monthly precipitation.

chart: title “belem, brazil”; x - axis: “month” (j, f, m, a, m, j, j, a, s, o, n, d); left y - axis: “avg. temperature (°c)” (ranging from - 30 to 40); right y - axis: “avg. precipitation (mm)” (ranging from 0 to 400); line graph for “average temperature”, bar graph for “average precipitation”
which of the following best describes the climate information shown in the graph?
a. rainy in warm summers, snowy in cold winters
b. seasonal variation in temperature; rainy all year long
c. seasonal variations in temperature and precipitation levels
d. seasonal variation in precipitation; hot temperatures all year long

1. the geosphere is made up of…

a. water
b. air
c. living things
d. the earth

Explanation:

Question 6

1. Analyze the temperature graph: The average temperature line is mostly around 20 - 30°C, so temperatures are hot all year (no cold winters, so a is out; b says "seasonal variation in temperature" but temp is relatively stable, so b is out; c says "seasonal variations in temperature" but temp doesn't vary much, so c is out).
2. Analyze the precipitation (bar graph): Precipitation levels change across months (e.g., higher in J - M, lower in J - S, then higher in D), so there's seasonal variation in precipitation. And temperature is hot all year. So option d matches.

• The geosphere refers to the solid part of the Earth, including rocks, minerals, etc. So it's made up of the Earth (option d).
• Option a is hydrosphere (water), b is atmosphere (air), c is biosphere (living things).

Answer:

d. seasonal variation in precipitation; hot temperatures all year long
