{'star diagram': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'diagrams': [0, 0, 2, 2], 'cartogram': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'climogram': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'wind': [1, 0, 1, 2], 'ergograph': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'direction': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'duration': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

Option 1: Cartogram

A cartogram is a map that represents statistical information by distorting the size or shape of geographic regions. It is not specifically designed to show the direction and duration of wind.

Option 2: Climogram (Correct Answer)

A climogram, also known as a climate diagram, combines climatic data such as temperature and precipitation over a specific time period. While it doesn`t explicitly show the direction of wind, it can provide information about wind patterns indirectly through other data. For example, windy areas may be associated with higher levels of precipitation.

Option 3: Ergograph

An ergograph is a device used to measure the physical work performed by a person. It is not related to showing wind direction and duration.

Option 4: Star diagram

A star diagram, also known as a radar chart or spider chart, is a graphical method used to display multivariate data in the form of a two-dimensional chart. While it can represent various categories, it does not specifically depict wind direction and duration.

In conclusion, the correct option to show the direction and duration of wind is option 2, the climogram.
