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.)
explains what months would be considered the best and worst growing seasons for typical crops. Please include your reasoning.

- One 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_forwardThis is the Keeling Curve, the record of atmospheric CO2 as measured at Mauna Loa, Hawaii, over the last several decades.
