MODULE 8
Worksheet 8A.
We first examine the patterns of global temperature by plotting mean temperature,
averaged over seven decades, to observe the overall patterns from region to region. Temperatures are
reported in Kelvins, where 0° C (the freezing point of water) is equivalent to 273 K (no degree symbol is
used). Room temperature, often quoted as 21° C (70° F), is 294 K (273 + 21, since Kelvins and degrees
Celsius have the same increment (increasing by one Kelvin is the same as increasing by 1 C°).
Your first plot should look like the map shown here. The map
displayed here is too small to use for the module, so be sure to
generate your own larger version on the website.

In a few words, describe the location of the global zone(s)
that has the warmest land temperatures:

Antarctica/ Australia/ Europe/ North America/ South
America
3.
Which of the following has the widest range in
temperatures?
Africa/ Australia/Europe/ North America/South America/
4.
What on this map was most surprising to you?
Antarctica
The wides range in temperatures is
clearly north america
The amount of heat in south
america.

Worksheet 8B.
In this section, you are comparing the patterns of global temperature between two months
(January versus July), that represent two seasons (Winter and Summer in the Northern Hemisphere).
Complete this part of the worksheet while looking at the large map on your computer.
