Three types of grasslands were featured in this episode of Planet Earth. These include temperate grasslands , with seasonal fluctuations in temperature, tropical grasslands , which have seasons more based on precipitation, and tundra , which have the shortest growing seasons.
For this assignment, you will be given data from three specific locations on the Earth. For each location, construct a climatograph, a combined chart showing the precipitation and temperature levels across an average year.
