Ocean currents in the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean affect climate and weather patterns in the United States. The map shows some of these ocean currents. Mike researched climate data and determines that the eastern United States usually has higher humidity than the western United States does.
Based on the ocean currents shown, which statement best explains the difference in humidity?
The air mass in the Atlantic Ocean is warmer than the air mass in the Pacific Ocean is, and a warmer air mass holds more water vapor than a colder air mass does.
The air mass in the Pacific Ocean is colder than the air mass in the Atlantic Ocean is, and a colder air mass causes more evaporation than a warmer air mass causes.
The cold ocean current in the Pacific Ocean causes stronger winds than the warm ocean current in the Atlantic Ocean causes, and moisture evaporates from the Pacific Ocean air mass.
The warm ocean current in the Atlantic Ocean produces denser air masses than the cold ocean current in the Pacific Ocean produces, and the dense air mass in the Atlantic Ocean cannot release precipitation.

A scientist observes six lady beetles of the same species that live in the same location. Each of the lady beetles is a different shade of orange or yellow, and each has a different number of black spots.
Which statement most likely explains how the differences relate to the evolution of the lady beetle species?
These differences show that the species may learn to adapt to a warmer and drier climate
These differences show that damage to plants in the habitat has caused the species to develop additional spots
These differences show that mutations have developed in the population as the species was exposed to pollutants
These differences show that there is genetic variation in the population that may allow the species to survive changes to its habitat

Earth's atmosphere is important to the living organisms of the biosphere. Which of the following describes how the atmosphere best protects living organisms?
by providing enough carbon dioxide in the ocean to support sea animals
by changing oxygen into nitrogen, which can be used as a nutrient for animals
by refracting visible light, allowing certain animals to see and capture their prey
by trapping electromagnetic radiation, keeping temperatures within a range best suited for animal life
