Answer:

they were attacking cuba from the sea

Explanation:

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, leaders of the U.S. and the Soviet Union engaged in a tense, 13-day political and military standoff in October 1962 over the installation of nuclear-armed Soviet missiles on Cuba, just 90 miles from U.S. shores. In a TV address on October 22, 1962, President John F. Kennedy (1917-63) notified Americans about the presence of the missiles, explained his decision to enact a naval blockade around Cuba and made it clear the U.S. was prepared to use military force if necessary to neutralize this perceived threat to national security. Following this news, many people feared the world was on the brink of nuclear war. However, disaster was avoided when the U.S. agreed to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev’s (1894-1971) offer to remove the Cuban missiles in exchange for the U.S. promising not to invade Cuba. Kennedy also secretly agreed to remove U.S. missiles from Turkey.

In 2 or 3 sentences describe how seasons are affected by both the Earth's tilt and its distance from the sun
Rasek [7]

Answer:

The hemisphere in direct sunlight experiences summer, while if the sunlight hits at an angle instead, depending on the angle, you experience colder seasons. Earth's tilt makes you experience different seasons in the northern and southern hemisphere. Earth's distance from the sun affects how fast it goes around the sun, and how long the season lasts.
