Answer:

As the earth spins on its axis, producing night and day, it also moves about the sun in an elliptical (elongated circle) orbit that requires about 365 1/4 days to complete. The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons.

But Earth's distance from the sun doesn't change enough to cause seasonal differences. Instead, our seasons change because Earth tilts on its axis, and the angle of tilt causes the Northern and Southern Hemispheres to trade places throughout the year in receiving the sun's light and warmth most directly

Relatively speaking, Earth's distance from the Sun doesn't change all that much throughout the year, nevertheless there are measurable differences in solar heating that result from our planet's slightly elliptical orbit.

Thalamus is the part of your brain which functions as the 'hub of information,' meaning that everything is stored there. So, even though Delroy doesn't want to think about it, he cannot forget the turbulence. Hippocampus is there to store old memories and create new experiences about those old memories.

You've seen that the global distribution of income is unequal. Why do you think it is unequal? The global distribution of incom

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

- Human capital and physical capital

Explanation:

There are various factors that are responsible for the unequal distribution of income globally. These factors may include tax evasion, inflation, unemployment, etc.

As per the question, the major reason for this unequal distribution is due to improper allocation of 'human capital and physical capital' across the population which leads to establishing an imbalance in the economy as some people possess excessive wealth to show off while the others born, live, and die in poverty for generations. Thus, improper 'human and physical capital' distribution is the root cause of the increasing gulf between the rich and poor.
