Question

1. Scientists have concluded that during the last glacial maximum a much greater area of the Earth's surface was covered with massive ice sheets than is today. Explain one piece of scientific evidence that supports this conclusion. 

2.Imagine that you own two cars. They are the same type (i.e., make and model), but one is painted black and the other is painted white. Both are parked outside in an open area on a sunny day. How do you expect the temperatures inside the two cars will differ? Explain your reasoning by considering each car as a "system" and discussing its energy budget.

3. Consider the below maps. They show annual average temperature (left) and terrain elevation (right). Focus on the three locations marked by circles labeled A, B, and C. Pick two of these three locations and note the difference in temperature between them. Provide a hypothesis to explain the reason for this difference
