The seasons are best explained by
A The distribution of temperature and rainfall in biomes.
The fact that the equator is warm and the poles are cold.
C The tilt of the Earth on its axis
D
The distance the earth is to the sun during its annual orbit.
As light-colored ice and snow in polar regions melt due to warming, the loss
of reflectivity leads to more melting and more warming. This is an example
of
a positive feedback loop
the Milankovitch cycle
the albedo effect
the greenhouse effect
Acidification

Since the water cycle is truly a "cycle," there is no beginning or end. Heat energy from the sun drives the water cycle. Main processes of the water cycle are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Lake 1. The processes involved in the water cycle are labeled with letters A-G in the diagram.

Using this information, write down which biome each city has in it. Be careful to read the numbers along The numbers along the Y-axis carefully. For precipitation, you will need to look at figure 2.2, which has annual precipitation numbers in centimeters. Then compare them to the monthly precipitation numbers in the graph, which are in millimeters. It may be helpful to add up The graph numbers and convert that number to centimeters in order to determine the Biome. Average temperatures are also represented on figure 2.2. Answer choices A.
