Graphing Temperatures
Compare San Francisco and Fresno,
California to Norfolk and Roanoke,
Virginia.
San Francisco is at about the same latitude
(distance from the equator) as Norfolk, and
Fresno is at about the same latitude as Roanoke.
San Francisco and Fresno are on the west coast,
Roanoke and Norfolk are on the east coast. San
Francisco and Norfolk are near the Ocean,
Fresno and Roanoke are not.
Find the average monthly high and low
temperatures for each city and the average
ocean temperature at the coastal cities
(San Francisco and Norfolk). See the box
below for helpful web sites.
