Answer:
During the northern hemisphere winter solstice, the Sun's incoming rays are perpendicular to the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5 degrees south latitude. The Sun's path is the lowest above the horizon in locations north of the equator, and these regions experience the shortest day of the year.

Ummmm.....label and model what?????
Sea floor spreading adds more crust to the ocean floor and at the same time older strips of rock move outward from either side of the ridge.
True. The higher the latitude, the less solar radiation is received by plants.
The changes in the phases of the Moon are caused by its position towards the Sun, not as it is commonly thought that it is because of the Earth's shadow on it.
What we see from the Moon, the bright part and the almost invisible dark part (looking with bear eyes of course), is only dependent on how the Moon is positioned towards the Sun. The part that is bright is the part that faces the Sun, while the part that is dark is the part that is on the opposite side, thus not facing the Sun.
Depending on the Moon's position towards the Earth as well, we can sometimes see it as partially bright, as half bright, full bright, and everything in between, and that depends on how the Moon is positioned towards the Earth.
