Answer:

Explanation:

Earth's axis is an imaginary pole going right through the center of Earth from "top" to "bottom." Earth spins around this pole, making one complete turn each day. That is why we have day and night, and why every part of Earth's surface gets some of each. Earth has seasons because its axis doesn't stand up straight.

Earth's axis is not perpendicular. It has an axial tilt or obliquity. Axial tilt is the angle between the planet's rotational axis and its orbital axis. A planet's orbital axis is perpendicular to the ecliptic or orbital plane, the thin disk surrounding the sun and extending to the edge of the solar system.

The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons. When the earth's axis points towards the sun, it is summer for that hemisphere. When the earth's axis points away, winter can be expected.

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Earths axis is tilted and also depends on the tilt according to the seasons. Earths axis is an imaginary line that isn’t visible, as seasons change you see changes in climate like summers are very hot and winters are cold, it’s all related to earths axis as in one part of the world is day while the other night some parts maybe evening (depends on the time), some parts winter some summer- sorry if I made it complicated but hope this gives u an idea, the other guy deserves brainliest tho

Mazyrski [523]

Answer: The correct answer is Heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

Heterogeneous mixture are those mixture in which:

Substance is distributed in non uniform manner.
Two distinct layers are formed

Thus when water and dirt are mixed together it results in the formation of a heterogeneous mixture and after sometimes two different layers will be observed.

Hence, in the bottle there is a heterogeneous mixture of water and dirt.

Temka [501]

Answer:

$\huge \boxed{\mathrm{Carbon \ disulphide}}$

Explanation:

Carbon disulphide is the liquid that can be used to separate iron fillings and sulphur powder.

When carbon disulphide is poured into the dish, the sulphur powder gets easily dissolved in the carbon disulfide. The iron fillings are left to settle on the bottom of the dish.

The iron fillings can get seperated through filtration. When the mixture of sulphur powder and carbon disulphide gets completely evaporated, the sulphur powder is left over.
