Question

One outcome of climate change will be a shift in where particular climate conditions exist (for instance, you will have to move further north if you want to stay in Chicago-like weather).  In order to survive, some organisms may have to move.  The movement rate of the climate and the movement rate of a species are described by Climate Velocity and Frame Shift Rate.

Using the Sugar Maple tree as an example, describe what climate velocity and frame shift rate are AND how they can combine to force the sugar maple to go extinct. (If you do not properly use the terms Climate Velocity and Frame Shift Rate as part of your answer you are not going to get many points on this question)
