| Before you leave you need to
do the following: 1. Construct a graph with elevation along the Y-axis and temperature along the X-axis. 2. Plot the temperature values for sites 1, 2, 3, and 4, on the graph and connect the points with a line. 3. Beside each plotted point draw a small picture of the type of vegetation found at that site and label each picture with the site name and vegetation type. If you need another look at the vegetation go to:
4. Describe the relationship between elevation, temperature and vegetation that your graph reveals. 5. Turn in in the graph and your field journal. |
