MAKING A CLIMATE GRAPH FOR THE COASTAL LOWLANDS The COASTAL LOWLANDS is the strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Brazilian Highlands. The table below contains the information about the annual temperature change, and monthly rainfall for the COASTAL LOWLANDS region. Month J F M A M J J A S O N D Temp ( o C) 26 26 25 25 24 22 21 21 21 22 24 26 Rainfall (mm) 130 120 150 120 80 60 50 15 70 80 120 145

On the x-axis at the bottom, use 1 centimetre for each month.
On the left hand axis, you should start with 12, and have 2 centimetres for every 2 degrees centigrade, up to 28.
On the other side, start with 0, and have 2 centimetres for every 50 mm of rainfall up to 400mm.
Your graph should start by looking like this :
Q. Draw a climate graph to show how this region’s rainfall and temperature changes over the year.
