What causes seasons to occur in certain zones A. Amount of rainfall B. Height of mountains C. Tilt of Earth's axis D. Longitude of the zone?

The tilt of Earth's axis causes the seasons, no matter what zone you refer to.


What are the two factors that cause the earth's seasons?

rotation of earth -earth is at a tilt so sometimes some parts get more sun then others rotation around the sun -earth will be at different distances from the sun as it rotates around


What effects does the earths tilt on its axis have on your daily life?

The earth's axis is an explanation of the tilt towards the sun. Currently the earth's axial tilt is approximately 23.44°. It is believed that past ice ages started when the axial tilt changed. The tilt is regulated by our moon. Without the moon, the earth would experince very significant differences in axis tilt over time which would make life on earth impossible.


How does the til of earths axis cause the seasons?

The tilt controls the angle of incidence of sunlight AND the duration of daylight hours.


What is the degree of the earths tilt and what is it pointing towards?

The current angle of tilt is 23.5 degrees. The axis of this tilt points to the Pole Star (Polaris) (North). However, this axis undergoes precession. That is the axis 'wobbles'. From its current value is is reducing to about 22.1 degrees. a, then it will increase again to about 24.5 degrees. This takes about 40,000 years to complete. See Milutin Milankovic, who also proposed other orbital movements of the Earth. All of which will affect the climate.
