What is Earth's Axis and why is it important when we talk about the seasons?

Chemistry

Nady [450]3 years ago

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

What happens if you drink hydrogen peroxide?
ValentinkaMS [17]
When peroxide is swallowed, it generates oxygen bubbles in the stomach. Drinking higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide can be very dangerous because it can cause tissue burns.

Ans 1. Both

Ans 2. Once inside plants, carbon moves through food chains, where organisms become nutrients including herbivores, carnivores and ultimately, decomposers. Once buried in the soil, carbon can be converted into fossil fuels over long periods of time and then also reenter the atmosphere by combustion. The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. The carbon cycle is an example of the Law

Ans 3. Most of the chemical energy needed for life is stored in organic compounds as bonds between carbon atoms and other atoms. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed. Thus, just like matter energy is also conserved in the process.

Hope it helps

What happens when the pressure of a gas is decreased?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

The combined gas law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely related to the volume and directly related to the temperature. If temperature is held constant, the equation is reduced to Boyle's law. Therefore, if you decrease the pressure of a fixed amount of gas, its volume will increase.
