12. Scientists went to five different islands and surveyed the wildlife to determine the stage of succession present at each location. The data from their exploration is reported in the table below:

Island C

(a) Based on the information in the table, which island is at the earliest stage of succession? Explain your
answer using details from the table.

1. label high-pressure areas with the letter h. 2. label low-pressure areas with the letter l. 3. over which area(s) would you expect to see rain or snow? 4. over which area(s) would you expect to see clear skies? 5. draw arrows around the h on the map to show the wind direction. 6. draw arrows around the l on the map to show the wind direction. 7. imagine that you live in maine. currently there is a high-pressure area over maine. if a low-pressure area moves in, how will the direction of the wind change? 5. draw arrows around the h on the map to show the wind direction. 6. draw arrows around the l on the map to show the wind direction. 7. imagine that you live in maine. currently there is a high-pressure area over maine. if a low-pressure area moves in, how will the direction of the wind change? 8. imagine that you live in colorado. currently there is a low-pressure area over colorado. if a high-pressure area moves in, how will the direction of the wind change? 9. according to the map, where would the strongest winds be expected? (refer to the lesson if needed.)
