The numbers in the boxes on this map show the annual average temperature at a number of places around the world.
Looking at the geographic pattern of temperature can give us clues about its possible influence on the migration of humans,
their use of land in different parts of the world, and the location of cities at different times in history.
1. Find the places that usually have high temperatures (annual averages higher than 75oF). Color their boxes orange or red.
2. Find the places that usually have low temperatures (annual averages of 45oF or lower). Color their boxes blue.
3. Make sure that the places you have not colored have average temperatures between 46oF and 75oF. Then color them green.
(You might want to separate the warm places from the cooler places by coloring the ones between 61oF and 75oF yellow.)
4. Write a one-sentence description of the geographic pattern of each temperature group.
Your description should note the range of latitudes of the places in each temperature group.
