Seasons happen because Earth spins around an axis which is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees. Because of this spinning, parts of Earth gets nearer or more distant from the Sun. Around the June Solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is turned towards the Sun, and gets more direct Sun rays. Because of this, the Northern Hemisphere experience summer in June, July and August. Opposite from this, for the people of South Hemisphere, June, July and August represent the months of winter. Around the December Solstice, the situation completely changes: Southern Hemisphere is turned towards the Sun, and Northern is more distant.

Describe patterns you observe in earth’s surface temperature. how do these patterns change during the course of a year and from
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

In this unit, we will be discussing Latitude as a climatic control. By latitude we are not talking about geographic location. Rather our interest will center on the effect of latitudinal location on the receipt of solar energy at the Earth's surface. To a degree the Greeks were on to the idea when they proposed their Torrid, Temperate and Frigid temperature zones over 2000 years ago.

02. Specifically in this section on Latitude, we are going to cover four topics:

Earth-Sun Relationships. This section will deal with the actual receipt of solar energy at the Earth's surface. The receipt of solar energy is directly related to the relationships which exist between the Earth and the Sun across the year. All of you would recognize the basic relationships. Each day we can see that the Sun "rises" in the east and sets in the west. Most would also recognize that over a 12 month period the Sun "moves" from north to south in our sky. In other words, the Sun not only "moves" from east to west, but also north to south. And how about the fact that days tend to get longer in the northern hemisphere from December 21 to June 21, and then grow shorter from June 21 to December 21? Earth-Sun relationships cause changes in the amount of insolation received day to day and seasonally. And, depending upon the relationship, the amount of insolation changes locationally and through time. The resultant temperatures created due to these changing relationships create pressure differences which are largely responsible for winds. The winds in turn drive the ocean currents and our weather.

Stells [14]

Acid Rain is the natural cause which causes volcanic eruptions and emissions from vegetation.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The volcanic eruption is a natural phenomenon that is caused due to the liberation of the lava from the heap of the earth along with the gases. The volcanic eruption results in causing major damages to the vegetation lying above the erupted crater of the volcano.  

This results in the immense release of gases such as “carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, methane and ammonia” and these gases are major pollutants of the air. When these gases react with water vapour that are present in the atmosphere, they condense in the form of acid rain.
