  1. 1Weather [blank_start]forecasters[blank_end] provide information on temperature, cloud cover, precipitation, winds, and storms. Weather forecasting is so [blank_start]difficult[blank_end] because there are so many factors to consider and these tend to change very rapidly.
    1. Aforecasters
    2. Bdifficult
  2. 2Some of the features remote sensing can be used to examine are [blank_start]vegetation[blank_end] cover, [blank_start]drainage[blank_end] patterns, and [blank_start]human[blank_end] impact on the environment.
    1. Avegetation
    2. Bdrainage
    3. Chuman
  3. 3The natural boundary that is in the White Shell Provincial Park satellite image is the exposed [blank_start]glacial[blank_end] rock of the Canadian Shield in the upper right of the image. In the lower right portion of the image, the elevation is [blank_start]lower[blank_end], the [blank_start]soil[blank_end] is deeper, and the [blank_start]wetland[blank_end] areas are prevalent.
    1. Aglacial
    2. Blower
    3. Csoil
    4. Dwetland
  4. 4Graphs are considered very useful because they help us see relationships and patterns in number [blank_start]data[blank_end]. A stacked bar graph is like a [blank_start]simple[blank_end] bar graph, with one important difference. While each bar in a simple bar can be used to represent several closely [blank_start]related[blank_end] values.
    1. Adata
    2. Bsimple
    3. Crelated
  5. 5Your goal every time a graph is created is to present a particular set of [blank_start]numerical[blank_end] information in the most clear and [blank_start]understandable[blank_end] manner.
    1. Anumerical
    2. Bunderstandable
  6. 6When putting together a stacked bar graph, you choose the total bar on the [blank_start]vertical[blank_end] scale by giving you the longest bar or the [blank_start]total[blank_end] bar. If the total isn't given, you will have to [blank_start]calculate[blank_end] it.
    1. Acalculate
    2. Bvertical
    3. Ctotal
  7. 7It is important to have different colours on the stacked bar graph to show different series of [blank_start]bars[blank_end]. You use the [blank_start]legend[blank_end] to show what colour represents what bar. each colour represents a different thing.
    1. Alegend
    2. Bbars
  8. 8The purpose of an x/y scattergraph is that it shows the [blank_start]relationship[blank_end] between two sets of data in a simple and useful way. For example, you could use the graph to illustrate whether there is a relationship between the amount of education a certain group of people and their salaries, or whether there is a relationship between the ages of people and how often they exercise.
    1. Arelationship
  9. 9A scattergraph is like a [blank_start]line[blank_end] graph because there is often an [blank_start]independent[blank_end] variable that goes on the horizontal axis and a [blank_start]dependent[blank_end] variable that goes on the vertical axis.
    1. Aline
    2. Bindependent
    3. Cdependent
  10. 10Independent Variable- the independent variable goes on the [blank_start]horizontal[blank_end] axis of a graph and is, to a lesser or greater extent, causing or influencing the [blank_start]dependent[blank_end] variable.
    1. Ahorizontal
    2. Bdependent

Information

Description
Weather forecasting is a difficult task due to ever changing conditions. Graphs are used to show us relationships within the data. A stacked bar graph is similar to a simple bar graph. A x/y scattergraph is similar to a line graph. Pie graphs can be seen in all types of print media.
