-- The seasons would be somewhat more extreme ... colder colds and hotter hots
everywhere.
-- The 'caps' around the north and south poles, where it's possible for the sun
to stay up or down for more than 24 hours, would extend out 28.5 degrees
from each pole, instead of only 23.5 degrees.
-- The tropical 'belt' around the Earth's middle, comprising every place on Earth
where the sun is directly overhead twice a year, would be 57 degrees wide,
instead of only 47 degrees.
-- The variations in the length of day and night throughout the year would be
greater everywhere ... the longest would be longer and the shortest would be
shorter.
If the Earth's tilt were at 50o the arctic Circle would be at 40o (somewhat south of the present American/Canadian border. Everything north of that would have at least one sunless day a year and in general have polar conditions for a large paty of the year. During the summer the same condition would cause the area north of that to line to have continuous sunlight for at least one day a year.
Between the two extremes (continous night or continuous day the ecology of the regions would alter dramatically with extreme winter and summer conditions.
Then the seasons would be much more pronounced than they currently are. Intelligent life might not be possible, and it would certainly be much different, of the Earth's axial tilt were substantially different than it is.
Assuming the Earth remained relatively constant at an axial tilt of 38.5 degrees,
there would probably be little change in the seasons. The main difference would
come in what parts of the Earth would experience which array of seasons. There
would be changes in the severity of the seasons for the poles, as they would be
closer to the Sun in summer than they are now, and farther away in winter.
Weather would change significantly, though, as the ocean would be warmed and
cooled in different places; this would result in different ocean currents, which play
an important role in the weather patterns across the planet. The differing patterns
in warming and cooling at the poles may also impact wind patterns and
temperatures of the rest of the planet. The actual seasons themselves, however,
would remain intact.
The big changes would come should the Earth begin to wobble much more noticeably
than it does now. This would throw the consistency of the seasons into chaos,
the severity of which would depend on how much the tilt varied in a given year.
(Sounds convincing, but full disclosure prompts us to go back to the first paragraph
and expunge the implication that the distance of the poles from the sun has any
connection to the seasons. If it did, then the present situation could not exist,
wherein in early January, with the Earth at its closest to the sun, the north is
in Winter, whereas in early July, with the Earth at its farthest distance from the
sun, the north is in Summer. Otherwise, convincing. Misleading, but convincing.)
The seasons would intensify, and the Summer would be hotter, and the Winter be colder. This would make for a completely different environment, since the change would be larger between seasons. Just this tiny change would probably make thousands of animals extinct. It would change farming. It would make weather more intense. If this happened suddenly it would probably be cataclysmic.
Difficult to know for sure, but probably not much. Seasons would be a little more extreme, with summers warmer and winters colder at high latitudes, but it would probably not affect the tropics or temperate zones all that much.
They would be more extreme: winters would be colder and summers would be hotter. The temperate zones would contract, and the polar and tropical zones would expand.
They would be exaggerated, but be the same length.
It would receive more direct Sun in the summer.
They'd be more extreme. Summers would be hotter and winters would be colder.
Iapetus, the third largest moon of Saturn does not have seasons. The characteristics of seasons usually cannot happen without some type of atmosphere, of which this moon has none.
Growing seasons will get longer. They will start earlier and finish later.
The effect on earth would be no seasons
A supernova occurs AFTER a star collapses suddenly. See related question
you would die.
it for the different tilt by scarlette lol
DIE
Seasons happen because of the orbiting of Earth ,around the Sun
The Floods that happen suddenly are called Flash Floods.
All other things being equal then we would not have seasons. That would be the most obvious result.
If the Earth had a tilt of zero degree, there would be no pronounced seasons and variations in the durations of day and night throughout the year.
the seasons will change!!
Angry Birds Seasons happened in 2010.
If suddenly no technology in this world then no one will be able to see my answer... :)
What do you think might happen to acommunity if grizzy bears suddenly become extinct
Seasons happen with the tilt and rotation. hope that helps :) actually, not really ;)
True. Mountain move land to certain degree. Movement of crust create mountains.What suddenly all mountains on earth wiped out. What you think will happen?
