Today, for Geography, we learnt how to answer structured essay questions about Natural Vegetation.
When the question asks to compare the climatic conditions, you must always answer in terms of the temperature and the rainfall. For the temperature, first mention whether it has a high mean monthly temperature or low mean monthly temperature. Next, mention the temperature range for the two places you have to compare. After talking about the temperature, move on to talk about the rainfall. Like temperature, firstly state whether the two placs has high total annual rainfall (at least 1000mm) or low total annual rainfall. Next state whether the place has a distinct wet and dry season or a evenly distributed rainfall throughout the year. You can also state the months thatb has the wet and dry season (if applicable)
This graph shows that this place has an evenly distributed rainfall throughout the year, and has a high mean monthly temperatures.
- the bars represents the rainfall
- the lines above the bars represents the temperature
This graph on the other hand shows that this place has a high total annual rainfall of at least 1000mm and also shows that this place has a distinct wet and dry season. Also, the graph shows that this place has a high mean monthly temperature.
When the question ask to explain the ways in which the forests found in the two different places are different in their adaptations to rainfall and temperature, nswer according to three points, the bark, the roots, and the nature of the trees. then explain why there are these adaptations and characteristics and elaborate on the use of these adaptations.
This is what I learnt from today's lesson on how to answer the structured essay questions.
