Which most likely occurs when a fast-moving cold air mass moves into a region of warmer, most air?
troposphere
They move from area of high pressure to areas of low pressure
An increase in the amount of acid rain can change the pH of the soil in an ecosystem.
It causes heavy precipitation for a short period of time.
It could lead to the formation of heat islands, which may impact the microclimate in the area.
clear-cutting
by increasing the amount of flooding because of rising sea levels
Climate is based on observations made for a region over several years; weather is day-to-day observations made for a region
