GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

Figure 1.The geography of weathering (Arbogast 2nd Ed.). Double-click and selectGLOBAL PERSPECTIVE. Figure 1 is a graph showing the dominant type of weathering based on annual precipitation and temperature. If a location has a mean annual temperature of 20°C and receives 190cm of precipitation yearly, you can plot these values (as denoted by the star) to see this location’s dominant weathering is strong chemical. For Questions 5 to 8, type the location information provided into the Searchtab in Google Earth and pressEnter. When you arrive at your destination, use the chart in Figure 1, in conjunction with Google Earth, to answer each question. The mean annual temperature and precipitation are provided respectively, in the parentheses.
