Best Answer

The earth tilts on its axis. As it goes around the sun the sun shines more on the southern part of the earth in winter. It shines on both in spring and fall and it shines more on the northern part in summer. Where the sun shines the most, it heats it up the most. Where it shines less, it heats it up less.

but it has to be either: (which one is it?)

a.atmosphere and lithosphere

b.condensation and evaporation

c. reservoirs and head waters

d.temerature and percipitation

What determines changes in the earth seasons?

The Earth's revolution around the Sun, combined with its axial tilt. In summer at a particular latitude the heating effect of the Sun is usually a lot more than in the winter at that latitude. This is because the tilt is "towards" the Sun in the summer, but "away" from the Sun in the winter. The seasons are not caused by the small changes in the Earth's distance from the Sun during its orbit.
