Texas Climate Classification System

531 Words3 Pages

Bernardo Garcia UIN 32500959 The climate classification system I choose to implement is based on two variables the Average Annual Precipitation in Texas [1] and the Average Annual temperature in Texas [2]. The average annual precipitation is broken down in to four range; 0 to 26 inches of rainfall, 26 to 38 inches of rainfall, 38 to 50 inches of rainfall and lastly rainfall above 50 inches. The Average Annual temperature map is broken down in 5 ranges starting from 50 F-55 F, 55 F – 60 F, 60 F – 65 F, 65 F-70 F and finally 70 F above. By paring the range of the temperature map and the precipitation map give me 14 category to show both the rainfall by inches and temperature by Fahrenheit, with this information I can discern on where the best place to plant plants or crops …show more content…

These plants need temperature ranging from 65 F to 80 F to grown. A you progress from left to right starting from green color area the rate of perception increase so the most ideal area to plant cool season plants would be any area in the purple as the temperature is 65 to 70 F and the annual rainfall is above 50 inches. Area colored in dark green, light blue and magenta would be optimal environment for growing warm season plants like melons, tomato, pepper and squash [3]. The Minimum temperature needed to grow warm season plant is 60 F but to have the best crop yield the temperature has to be 86 F. The temperature in these area is above 70 degrees. The area in magenta would be the most suitable condition as it is above 70 degrees with annual rain fall of more than 50 inches. The classification climate system that I implemented use the variable of annual temperature and annual rain fall for Texas. Using this classification system I was able to find the best places to plant cool season plants and warm season plants, as well which area to avoid in plating
