Which statement is accurate for a lesson on New York’s Climate Controls?

  • New York’s climate varies through interacting latitude, elevation, continentality, lake influence, and Atlantic influence.
  • Lake-effect snow illustrates atmospheric instability, fetch, moisture transfer, and wind-direction controls at a regional scale.

Which statement best explains Government Employment in New York State?
