Answer 1

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The earth is tilted at an angle of 23.5°. Due to this tilting of the earth, its revolution around the sun, and the orientation of the earth with respect to the sun, the seasons occurs. The earth experiences 4 types of seasons, namely the summer, autumn, winter and spring. The summers are usually hot and winters are usually cold. Both the hemisphere experiences opposite type of seasons.

When the tilt of the earth faces towards the sun, then it is summer in the northern hemisphere and when the tilt of the earth is oriented away from the sun, then t experiences a winter season. The southern hemisphere experiences the opposite of it.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Answer 2

C. It produces seasons
