Unpacking the Seasons: How Earth's Tilt Influences Weather Patterns

The video explores the causes and effects of climate change, focusing on the Earth's tilt and orbit as reasons for seasonal changes. It explains the day-night cycle and how temperature variations occur due to Earth's position relative to the sun. The video also discusses global warming, highlighting human activities as a significant factor. It concludes with the consequences of climate change, such as increased heatwaves, heavier rains, and rising sea levels, emphasizing the need for global efforts to mitigate these effects.

What causes the Earth to experience different seasons?

• The tilt of Earth's axis

• The distance of Earth from the sun

• The speed of Earth's rotation

• The shape of Earth's orbit

During which event does the northern hemisphere receive equal sunlight as the southern hemisphere?

• June Solstice

• Winter Solstice

• March Equinox

• Summer Solstice

Why are summers warmer in the northern hemisphere?

• The sun is closer to Earth

• The atmosphere is thicker

• The sun's rays are more direct

• The days are shorter

What role do oceans play in influencing seasonal temperatures?

• They block sunlight from reaching the Earth

• They absorb and redistribute solar energy

• They cause the Earth to tilt more

• They increase the Earth's rotation speed

What is a major consequence of the melting glaciers?

• Increase in sea levels

• More frequent earthquakes

• Decrease in ocean volume
