Block mountains are not formed due to plate collision
The way the Earth's axis rotation affects the seasons depends on how far away the Earth is from the sun. When one part of the Earth is tilted toward the sun then it's summer and the other part of Earth is having winter.
Many scientists think the sun and the rest of the solar system formed from a giant, rotating cloud of gas and dust known as the solar nebula. As the nebula collapsed because of its gravity, it spun faster and flattened into a disk. Most of the material was pulled toward the center to form the sun.
The answer is San Francisco will be warmer than St.Louis in the winter.
