Summer for us, Winter South of the Equator.
The Earth's mantle is very important. It is important for the Earth's crust evolution, as well as being the provider of thermal and mechanical forces for plate tectonics. The mantle is what covers the most part of Earth inside if it is not there, then the heat of the core will burn the Earth's crust. And the mantle does make up 84% of Earth's volume, so that wouldn't be good!
The answer is A, latitude. Explanation: latitude aids in the identification and location of the earth's primary heat zones. The distance from the equator to the north and south poles is measured in latitude. Understanding the pattern of wind circulation on the world surface is aided by latitude. The distance from the prime meridian to the west is measured in longitude.
