Identify the month with the greatest difference in the average temperature between these two cities. 24. Explain why the average temperatures of Eureka and Omaha are considered cyclic.
25. Base your answer to the following question on the passage below. Earth's Early Atmosphere Early in Earth's history, the molten outer layers of Earth released gases to form an early atmosphere. Cooling and solidification of that molten surface formed the early lithosphere approximately 4.4 billion years ago. Around 3.3 billion years ago, photosynthetic organisms appeared on Earth and removed large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which allowed Earth to cool even faster. In addition, they introduced oxygen into Earth's atmosphere, as a by-product of photosynthesis. Much of the first oxygen that was produced reacted with natural Earth elements, such as iron, in the lithosphere and produced new varieties of rocks and minerals. Eventually, photosynthetic organisms produced enough oxygen so that it began to accumulate in Earth's atmosphere. About 450 million years ago, there was enough oxygen in the atmosphere to allow for the development of an ozone layer 30 to 50 kilometers above Earth's surface. This layer was thick enough to protect organisms developing on land from the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. a Complete the pie graph in your answer booklet to show the percent by volume of nitrogen and oxygen gases currently found in Earth's troposphere. Use the Average Chemical Composition Chart on the first page of your ESRT as your source. Label each section of the graph with the name and percentage of the gas. The percentage of other gases is shown. 26. Base your answer on the map and the stream data table below. The map represents a stream flowing into a lake. An arrow shows the direction of streamflow. Points A and B are locations at the edge of the stream. Line AB is a reference line across the stream surface. Line CD is a reference line along the lake bottom from the mouth of the stream into the lake. The data table gives the depth of the water and distance from point A, in feet, along line AB.
On the grid on your answer page, construct a profile of the depth of water below line AB, following the directions below. Mark an appropriate numerical scale showing equal intervals on the axis labeled "Depth of Water." The zero (0) on the depth of water axis represents the stream surface. Using the data table, plot with an X the depth of water at each distance from point A to point B. Connect the Xs with a smooth, curved line. Points A and B have already been plotted.
