Based on the images a student claims that higher altitudes have lower temperatures. Choose the piece(s) of evidence that supports this claim. (Choose 2 below) (MS-ESS1-1)

• One side of the mountain seems to have more plant growth than the other, which probably means more precipitation.

• The tops of mountains have snow even when the lower areas do not.

• Snow forms and stays at lower temperatures.

• The areas that are more brown have less plant growth, which probably means less precipitation.

• Snowfall in the mountains melts faster than in the valleys.

In some areas of the world, like California and Japan, earthquakes are a common occurrence. How can this best be explained?

• The strong ocean currents are undermining both areas causing earthquakes.

• Both areas are located near the edge of the Pacific Ocean, the unstable sand causes earthquakes.

• Both areas are subjected to strong ocean wind and waves that causes earthquakes.

• Both areas are on the boundary of active plates, the motion of the plates causes earthquakes.
