Question

Part E-Analyze & Conclude: Which Climate is Optimal? You are a climatologist consulting with a company that makes prefabricated homes. They are asking for your input about where to build their next manufacturing site. Considering factors like market proximity, access to raw materials, labor supply, building and real estate costs, and transportation infrastructure have helped them narrow it down to three options: Sacramento, CA; Tucson, AZ: or Buffalo, NY (Figure E1) Figure E1: (A) Sacramento, CA; (B) near Tucson, AZ: and (C) Great Lakes region with Buffalo, NY to the east during a snowstorm. A few key steps of their manufacturing process must take place outside. Unfortunately, metals can expand under heat or rust in rain and wood swells once it becomes wet. Thus, they need a climate perspective to help them decide. Study the graph below (Table E1) to make some generalizations about temperature and precipitation patterns in each of the three cities that you can use to rank them from best to worst option from just the climate perspective. Given the manufacturing process, which place has the least amount of rain and moderate temperatures to best mitigate their climate-related issues?

Explanation / Answer

1. Tuscon has the least average rainfall and high average temperature among the three places. But the rain causes most problem thus it is best place.

2. Sacramento Ca comes next as it has moderate temperature and average normal rainfall.

3. it is the worst place as it has the highest rainfall and rain causes the most problem thus it is the worst place.
