When interpreting the map and the accompanying legend, several statements can be evaluated against the visual pattern of temperature change across Bathurst Tablelands. Option 1: The climate has changed more towards the north of the region (>0.242 degrees celsius), compared to the south of the region (<0.224 degrees celsius). This aligns with the observed color gradient on the map, where the northern parts of the polygon are colored in the darker shades corresponding to higher positive changes (greater than 0.242°C), while the southern portions show lighter shades indicating smaller or lower positive changes. The legend explicitly defines a gradient with north-south differences, making this option coherent with the visual pattern. Option 2: Overall, there has been a decrease in annual temperature over time. The color scheme on the map indicates positive changes (warmer mean annual temperatures) across the region rather than a universal cooling. The presence of pink/orange to red hues, which denote increasing temperatures, makes this option inconsistent with the map’s display and legend. Option 3: Overall, the mean annual temperature has increased by 0.2 degrees celsius over time. While the map shows warming, the legend provides more granular ranges (e.g., <=0.224°C, 0.224–0.230°C, 0.230–0.236°C, 0.236–0.242°C, >0.242°C). Saying a single value of 0.2°C oversimplifies the regional variation shown; the map suggests a spread across several categories rather than a uniform 0.2°C increase. This makes the statement overly specific relative to the displayed data. Option 4: There has been no change in temperature across the region. The map’s gradient from lighter to darker shades represents measurable changes in temperature, indicating at least some areas experienced warming. Therefore, asserting no change across the region conflicts with the depicted variation. In summary, option 1 best describes the spatial pattern presented by the map and legend, as it captures the relative northward intensification of warming compared with the south, while the other options mischaracterize the overall trend or misstate the variability shown.
