Based on the following information, identify the true statement about the two North American cities, both situated in the western United States.
For City A, the coldest average monthly temperature is 7° Celsius in December and the hottest average monthly temperature is 27° Celsius in July.
For City B, the coldest average monthly temperature occurs in December at -0.2°, and the warmest average monthly temperature occurs in July at 29.8° Celsius.
Group of answer choices
City A is located east of City B
City B is located more interior than City A
City B is located west of City A
City B is located nearer to the coast than City A
The two cities are located at the same latitude
Explore this https://www.usclimatedata.com to identify the average temperatures in your location (i.e. city). Note how the temperature varies throughout a single year. Record the information for one year of data (monthly) . (Note: the website displays temperature in Fahrenheit, so you will need to convert to Celsius for the following steps.)

- Explain why you chose A or B, etc. Provide a logical explanation defending your answer choice. Q: Which of the following statements is false about the impacts of climate change? Choose all that apply. Group of answer choices A) A drought- and heat-induced increase of wildfires can have continent-wide impacts on human health B) Lower temperatures in some areas and at certain times are expected due to disruption in typical weather patterns. C) An increase in land conversion from natural habitats to developed or agriculture can reduce the zoonotic potential of diseases D) In the US, increased temperatures disproportionately affect the health of marginalized communities The conditions brought about by climate change may actually benefit agricultural productivity Q: "Unless someone like ________ cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.

Pinatubo might have a cooling effect on the Earth’s surface?arrow_forwardOne outcome of climate change will be a shift in where particular climate conditions exist (for instance, you will have to move further north if you want to stay in Chicago-like weather). In order to survive, some organisms may have to move. The movement rate of the climate and the movement rate of a species are described by Climate Velocity and Frame Shift Rate. Using the Sugar Maple tree as an example, describe what climate velocity and frame shift rate are AND how they can combine to force the sugar maple to go extinct. (If you do not properly use the terms Climate Velocity and Frame Shift Rate as part of your answer you are not going to get many points on this question)arrow_forward
- Here is some data about sea level rise in the Chesapeake Bay. The data shows the change in sea level over time. Notice that there are four sea level measurements per year because they are done during each season (fall, winter, summer, and spring). Sea Level Rise Year 0.5 mm 1980 0.4 mm 1980 0.4 mm 1980 0.2 mm 1980 Average 0.6 mm 1990 0.4 mm 1990 0.8 mm 1990 0.5 mm 1990 Average 0.5 mm 2000 0.6 mm 2000 0.9 mm 2000 0.8 mm 2000 Average 0.9 2010 0.8 2010 1.0 2010 1.3 2010 Average Calculate the average sea level rise for each year and fill in the table above.
