Because the earth's axis is tilted. It is all about the tilt of the Earth's axis.

During the summer, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a steep angle. The light does not spread out as much, thus increasing the amount of energy hitting any given spot. Also, the long daylight hours allow the Earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures.

During the winter, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits any given spot. Also, the long nights and short days prevent the Earth from warming up. That's why we have winter.

I hope this helped!

Thank you,

Answer:

Explanation:

Asia and the Pacific region have continued to remain the world's largest producer of fish. Various researchers have identified certain benefits of consuming seafood, which have caused greater demand for them. Apart from being ideal source of vitamins, fish is also rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, which can help prevent high blood pressure, cancer and heart diseases. Seafood also strengthen the immune system through their antioxidants.

Rapid advances in fishing technology have led to the dramatic increase over the last 50 years in how many fish we are able to catch. Most people in the fishing business now use factory ships, in place of fishing vessels. These ships are can stay at the sea for several weeks and they have all the necessary equipment that can be used to either freeze of tin fish that they catch using their hunting ships.

The factory ships need to get full before they can return to base and this has caused over a 7% growth in catches every year.
