ILS Question Which situation is the best example of ecological succession? An organism survives a difficult winter. The populations in an area remain the same. One species replaces another species in an ecosystem. Each of several species uses the same amount of resources.

What is weather? Local or short term changes in temperature, rainfall, wind, cloud cover What is climate? The average weather conditions over a large geographic area that extends over a long period of time.

How is the amount of rainfall affected by the mountain?

How does altitude (elevation) affect temperature? The higher the altitude (elevation), the cooler the temperature. How do ocean currents affect temperature? Ocean currents can moderate (cool or warm) nearby coastal landmasses

How does latitude affect the amount of solar radiation (direct sunlight)? As latitude increases, there is a decrease of solar radiation. How does latitude affect temperature? As latitude increases, there is a decrease in temperature.

ILS Question The arrows in the diagram below show the circulation of air on a sunny day. The air circulation shown is caused by (1) both hot air and cool air sinking (2) both hot air and cool air rising (3) hot air sinking and cool air rising (4) hot air rising and cool air sinking

ILS Questions The map shows a low-pressure system (L) over New York State in July. Describe one weather condition that was most likely produced along the fronts as this low-pressure system moved across New York State in July. Explain why this low-pressure system causes the temperature to be warmer in Syracuse than in Rochester.
