Part 1: Given the blank diagram of the Earth below, draw an imaginary continent with features that will lead to at least one location each with: 1) a rain shadow on the leeward side of a mountain, 2) a location with a large annual temperature range, 3) a location with a small annual temperature range, 4) a location moderated by water in some way, 5) a desert (location with little precipitation, and 6) a rainforest (location with a lot of precipitation). Hint: drawing the large-scale atmospheric circulation might be helpful. Clearly draw all features and label all locations
