120s5.8d - Q9
Which of the following statements describes the process that causes the seasons on Earth?
The Earth's tilt on its axis as it orbits (revolves) around the Sun over 24 days
The Earth's tilt on its axis as it rotates around the Sun over 24 hours
The Earth's tilt on its axis as it orbits (revolves) around the Sun over 365 days or 1 year
The Earth's tilt on its axis as it rotates around the Sun over 365 days or 1 year
120s5.8c - Q10
True or false: The seasons are caused because the Earth gets closer to the Sun during particular months like Summer, which causes the temperature to increase.
falsetrueTrue or False120s5.8c - Q11
Using the diagram below, in which of the following positions would the Northern Hemisphere experience Summer and why?
D, because the Earth's axis is parallel to the Sun, causing the Northern hemisphere to receive moderate temperatures and equal days and nights
B, because the Earth's axis is tilted towards the Sun, causing the Northern hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight, longer days, and higher temperatures
A, because the Earth's axis is tilted towards the Sun, causing the Northern hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight, longer days, and higher temperatures
C, because the Earth's axis is tilted away from the Sun, causing the Northern hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight, longer days, and higher temperatures
120s5.8c - Q12
Using the diagram below, in which of the following positions would the Southern Hemisphere experience Summer and why?
C, because the Earth's axis is tilted away from the Sun, causing the Southern hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight, longer days, and higher temperatures
B, because the Earth's axis is tilted towards the Sun, causing the Southern hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight, longer days, and higher temperatures
A, because the Earth's axis is tilted towards the Sun, causing the Southern hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight, longer days, and higher temperatures
D, because the Earth's axis is parallel to the Sun, causing the Southern hemisphere to receive moderate temperatures and equal days and nights
