What are the abiotic factors of a desert?
In any ecosystem, abiotic and biotic factors must always be present. In a desert, the abiotic factors include sunshine, minerals and air.
What factors contributes to earths seasons?
The earth's seasons are caused by the rotating earth tilting on its axis as it orbits round the sun. This tilting causes the sunlight to strike the earth at a low angle, causing winter in the hemisphere tilted away from the sun. Meanwhile, the hemisphere tilted towards the sun, receives the sunlight more directly, causing summer in the hemisphere tilted towards the sun.
What causes the beginning of summer and winter in the northern hemisphere?
WHEN TH SUN TILTS TOWARD THE SOUTHERNHEMISPERE IT GIVES YOU WINTERAnswer 2:Actually the sun does not tilt.The earth axis does, though.
What causes variation in respiration rates of different individuals?
depends on how big the lungs are
What causes your earth to have different seasons?
The earth moving further and closer to the sun.
Why does intensity of sunlight affect weather?
Sunlight is a kind of fuel for thunderstorms. The warm air causes an updraft when it collides with cold air. Also, sunlight intensity affects the temperature. That is why the temperatures at the equator are usually high because the places near the equator get direct sunlight.
What location on earth relative to the equator helps determine the amount of sunlight an area receives?
because it is 0 degrees
What causes sound waves?
intensity
What causes the the four seasons on Earth?
The Earth spins on its axis, and that axis is tilted with respect to the flat plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. This causes the duration (day length) and intensity of sunlight to vary for given latitudes at different points in its orbit. This is NOT a function of the Earth's changing distance from the Sun, which only varies by about 3%. (see related question)
What causes leaf curl on citrus?
Sunlight causes this.
What approach is most practical in the management of pain?
Considering the different causes and types of pain, as well as its nature and intensity, management can require an interdisciplinary approach.
What factors are thought to contribute to physiological fatigue during short-duration high intensity exercise?
During high intensity exercises your cells become unable to perform aerobic respiration causing them to perform anaerobic respiration. This causes a build up of lactic acid in the muscles.
What causes the sunlight on the moon?

What is an intensity of an earthquake mean?

How are different seasons caused?
Seasons are caused by earth's tilt on it's axis. As earth revolves around the sun, it's tilt causes different amounts of sunlight to reach the surface in certain areas. That's what causes the seasons.
