Temperature Team Surface Temperature - Day 1
The surface temperature readings on this map are in degrees Fahrenheit. On the Fahrenheit scale freezing is
32 degrees.
Circle each number with the corresponding color in the key. DO NOT shade in the circle.
An isotherm is a line on a map joining areas of equal temperature. Use a black pencil to draw an isotherm
connecting the 32-degree readings. Looking at surface temperature alone, what type of precipitation is possible
north of the line? South of the line? Along the line?
