Which correctly describes the reasons for uneven heating of Earth which leads to the creation of winds?

• Different locations on Earth absorb different amounts of solar energy due to the properties of the material that makes up Earth’s surface.

• Different locations on Earth receive different amounts of solar energy due to its spherical shape.

• The sun rays do not carry equal amounts of radiation and strike Earth at almost ninety degree angles over 80% of the surface.

• The sun rays hit Earth's surface at lower angles at latitudes farther from the equator spreading the same amount of solar energy over a larger area.

The following table shows the estimated populations of a number of organisms in a region of California before and one year after a wildfire. Evaluate the evidence shown in the table. Which are possible cause and effect explanations for the after-effects of the wildfire?

• The salmon population decreased because the overheated environment prevented salmon from reaching their nesting grounds the previous year.

• The northern spotted owl population decreased because they were not able to escape the effects of the fire.

• The giant sequoia and foxtail pine populations increased because they are conifers that require heat to release their seeds.

• The American pika and limestone salamanders did not reproduce as much because they were afraid of another fire.
