The spring comes when the sun's warming rays line up perpendicular to earth's axial tilt. At the time of equinox at earth's equator, the sun appears almost directly.

Explanation:

When the earth travels around the sun its orbit, the north to south position of the sun changes over some year due to the changing orientation of the earth's tilted rotation axes. The dates of zero tilt of the earth's equator correspond to the spring equinox and autumn equinox.

The tilt of the earth is that earth will lean towards the sun (summer) or lean away from the sun (winter) for 6 months. At this time spring and autumn will occur. The earth's movement around the sun causes the seasons.

Hence, the earth is tilted during the spring and fall equinoxes because the spring comes when the sun's warming rays are perpendicular to earth's axial tilt.

What does a base release when it is dissolved?

Kisachek [45]

A base provides either hydroxide ions (OH–) or other negatively charged ions that combine with hydrogen ions, reducing their concentration in the solution and thereby raising the pH. In cases where the base releases hydroxide ions, these ions bind to free hydrogen ions, generating new water molecules.

Albinism is a condition in which pigmentation is lacking. In humans, the result is white hair, non-pigmented skin, and pink eyes

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

1/4 or 25% chance/ probability of having an albino child.

Explanation:

Albinism is a recessive trait, this means that a person need 2 copies of the allele to express this condition. If both parents are normal their genome must be Aa ("A"=normal condition and "a" recessive allele) when they produce gamets they could either be "A" or "a" but when fertilization happens there's a 25% chance of 2 gametes with the recessive trait to meet, hence producing an albino.

It is important to understand that this is only probability. A couple could have 6 children and all of them could be normal.
