Climate Description – 150-200 words

• Tacostan is 30°N, 150°E. It is a mixed forest. It’s cold in the winters, and hot in the summer. It is a bit humid in the forest, and that means it is a good place for growing mangos. We need a field to grow ingredients for tacos, so we have a field for vegetables. It is averagely 18-24 degrees Celsius each year. The average precipitation each year is 1147 mm each year. Its highest mountain is Mount Neverest, which is on the south coast of the island. The other mountain is Mt. Venus. The islands lake is called Lakers Lake. The other lake is called Lake of Kiwis. The island has 3 rivers, known as Timothy River, River of Tacos, and Pepper River.

The animals that can live there are Kiwis, Centipedes, Flies, Ants, Owls, Snakes, and Emus. It snows in the winter. It has fir trees and leaved trees. The precipitation is mainly snow in the winter. The summers are a bit warm. Due to the warm Kurishio current on the west, the water on the West side of the island is warm, but the east side is cool. The west side of the island is not too hot, and the east side isn’t hot. It has a river going through the field as a source of water.

Climate Concerns

• Global warming sometimes make the winters warm, so it might not snow.

Agriculture

• Our island is able to grow all ingredients for tacos. It is also able to grow mangos. We can go around the island to get fish. We have a lot of oil underground, so we use tacos and oil and mangos and certain types of fish to get other food, like salmon, strawberries, watermelon, and weapons to defend the island.
