Water for drinking, transportation, and source
of food.
8

What character trait must the Mound Builders have
possessed if they were able to build such huge
structures?

16
True or false The Anasazi ate nothing but the
animals they hunted. Explain your answer

False- the Anasazi grew crops, which they
irrigated. This allowed them to stay settled in
one place. If they only ate hunted animals,
theyd have to migrate with their prey.
18

40
What two kinds of information are shown on the
climograph?
41
Average temperature and average precipitation
42
Which two months got the most precipitation?
43
December and March (or November)
44
In April, what was the average temperature and
the average precipitation?
45
Precipitation about 3, average temperature 37
degrees F (this is the correct temperature,
guys use a piece of paper or ruler to line up
the top of Aprils bar with the temp. on the
