The islands have a total area of 1,581 square miles with a total population of
23、about 360,000. The economic mainstays of the Azores are fishing and agriculture. There is no heavy industry, and facilities for repairing machinery are limited. Most tools, implements, and farm utensils are handmade.(2) The climate is mild and the humidity high. Average annual temperature is 63 degr
24、ees F. Diuranal fluctuation in temperature is approximately 10 degrees. Highest recorded temperature, 80 degrees F, lowest recorded temperature, 40 degrees F. The yearly average rainfall is 44.80 inches; the monthly average rainfall and probability of rain is as follows:Mo. Av. (in.) Probability Mo.

The te
27、rrain is hilly and dominated by volcanic ranges, including two extinct craters. The airfield is located on the northeast side of the island. The total population of Terceira Island is approximately 80,000. The city of Angra do Heroismo, capitol of the district, has a population of about 30,000; and
