A climate graph typically shows which two variables?

• A. Humidity and evaporation
• B. Wind speed and cloud cover
• C. Temperature and precipitation; line for temperature and bar for rainfall
• D. Annual rainfall only

Answer: (C)

A climate graph is built to show how the weather varies across the year by tracking two different aspects: temperature and precipitation. Temperature is drawn as a line so you can see how it rises and falls with the seasons. Rainfall, or precipitation, is shown as bars so you can compare how much rain falls each month. This combination lets you see patterns like hot, dry periods or cool, wet seasons and how they relate to each other.

The other possibilities don’t fit because they either focus on variables not normally plotted on a standard climate graph (like humidity, evaporation, wind speed, or cloud cover) or they present only one aspect (annual rainfall) without showing how temperature changes over time.
