Compare and contrast asexual vs sexual reproduction. 

Provide 2 differences 

2 vs 1 parent, clones vs genetically different, short vs long, few vs many

300
Which substance has more thermal energy a pot of boiling water or a gigantic ice berg?

Ice berg because it has more mass

300

How does proximity to the ocean affect climate?

Example: Florida vs Arizona 

Closer to ocean wet climate, humid, vegetation, diversity, rainfall

Farther away dry climate, low diversity, little rainfall, desert
