Why are summers generally warmer than winters?

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,

In 2 ways how does proximity to water effect the economy? (will give brainliest)

fomenos

1) Proximity of water can lead to lack of food, which affects economy of the country in various ways.
2) It has wet cool summers and wet, mild winters, so for shelters and cloths, it affects economy by transportation, extra manufacture etc.

A circle has a diameter

torisob [31]

The circumference of circle is 20.096 units

Solution:

Given that circle has a diameter with endpoints at (10, 8) and (5, 4)

To get the diameter, find the distance between the end points

The distance between two points is given by formula;

$d=\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}$

Here the points are (10, 8) and (5, 4)

$(x_1, y_1) = (10, 8)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (5, 4)$

Substituting the values we get,

$\begin{aligned}&d=\sqrt{(5-10)^{2}+(4-8)^{2}}\\\\&d=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}=\sqrt{25+16}=\sqrt{41}\end{aligned}$

$d = \sqrt{41} = 6.4$

Thus the diameter is 6.4 units

The circumference of the circle is given by formula:

$c = \pi d$

Where "d" is the diameter of circle

$c = 3.14 \times 6.4 = 20.096$

Thus circumference of circle is 20.096 units

What is the main difference between different types of map projections

Mkey [24]

Answer:

The only factor that distinguishes different cylindrical map projections from one another is the scale used when spacing the parallel lines on the map. The downsides of cylindrical map projections are that they are severely distorted at the poles.
