CRITICAL THINKING 1. London, England, is at the same latitude as Calgary in Canada's province of Alberta. However, the mean January temperature in London is 5.5°C (42°F), whereas in Calgary it is minus 10°C (14°F). Compare the locations of these two cities, and suggest a reason for this tempera- ture difference. Ingn Tinonnmontal

Question
CRITICAL THINKING 1. London, England, is at the same latitude as Calgary in Canada's province of Alberta. However, the mean January temperature in London is 5.5°C (42°F), whereas in Calgary it is minus 10°C (14°F). Compare the locations of these two cities, and suggest a reason for this tempera- nts ture difference. 2. Increased industrialization in China has environmental- ists worried about air quality elsewhere. Are air pollut- ants emitted in Beijing more likely to end up in eastern Europe or the western United States? Why? 3. The use of off-road rereational vehicles may double in the next 20 years. Enthusiasta would like increased access to government-owned deserts. Some argue that it's the perfect place for off-roaders because "There's nothing there." Explain whether you agree, and why. 4. As global temperature rises as a result of increased atmo- spheric carbon dioxide, temperate zone lakes are freezing later in the winter and defrosting earlier in spring. How will these changes affect the timing of nutrient avail- ability in these lakes? What effect would you expect this change in timing have on life in the lakes?
