Evolution

WEATHER
What weather is symbolized by drops of water?

The warm air mass rises as the cool air masses push and meet in the middle. The temperature drops as the warm air mass is “cut off,” from the ground and pushed upward. Such fronts can bring strong winds and heavy precipitation. Usually form around mature low pressure areas
Occluded Front
organisms with traits well suited to their environment survive and reproduce at a greater rate than less well-adapted organisms
