the plants and animals that can live in an area

One reason areas close to an ocean have a moderate, stable climate is due to

the water heats and cools slowly

Since the Earth is titlted on its axis it

receives different amount of sunlight during the year, receives different amount of sunlight during its revolution

The climate next to a mountain range tends to

be wetter on one side and dryer on the other

the distance of a point from the equator

The seasonal changes occur because

the Earth is tilted on its axis
