This graph shows relationship between season, climate and crops. •the climate is represented by monthly average temperature, rainfall and relative humidity , which are marked along the Y- axis. •The twelve month are marked along the X-axis. Below the X- axis, the acreage of various crops is shown on some selected scale. A GEDDES and AG OGILVIE presented circular ergograph to show the continuous rhythm of seasonal activities.

Introduced by Griffith Taylor to show the relationship between temperature and rainfall. Monthly temperature is plotted on Y-axis and rainfall along X- axis . The 12 points, each for a month, are marked on the graph and a 12-sided figure is obtaining by joining these points. This graph is important for comparing the climatic character of different regions.

An asteroid estimated to be 1.2 miles wide will fly by Earth next week, but it’s not expected to collide with our planet. And if an asteroid could be aware of such things, it appears to be wearing a face mask in deference to the pandemic, according to new images from Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. The asteroid is called 52768 (1998 OR2), and it was first spotted in 1998. On April 29, it will pass within 3,908,791 miles of Earth, moving at 19,461 miles per hour. That’s still 16 times farther than the distance between Earth and the moon.
If it did impact Earth, the asteroid is “large enough to cause global effects,” according to NASA, back when the asteroid was first discovered. “The small-scale topographic features such as hills and ridges on one end of asteroid 1998 OR2 are fascinating scientifically,” said Anne Virkki, head of planetary radar…
