I took this photo on Monday January 22nd 2018. The ecological concepts I identified with this picture are precipitation and climate being influenced by proximity to the coastline. Wilmington is right next to the ocean, which is why we experience more precipitation than cities and states that are farther inland. This is because when air masses move inland from the coast, the water vapor that is lost through precipitation is not recharged while over land as much as it is over the open waters of the ocean.
