What is the Major cause for the seasonal temperature variation at any given latitude on earth?
If you live in the northern hemisphere, summertime is when the earth is tilting closer to the sun. Winter is when the earth is tilting farther away. It the opposite if you're living in the southern hemisphere.
What is the shape of the path of the Earth's revolution around the sun?
It is a wavy ellipse. Wavy because of the Moon. The ellipse is close to a circle, but the Earth is just a little closer to the Sun in the Northern Hemisphere's Winter. All orbits are ellipses. The gravitational perturbations caused by the Moon causes VERY TINY ripples in the elliptical path; "wavy ellipse" may be overstating the case.
What causes the air of a tropical storm to rotate?
Tropical storms rotate as a result of something called the Coriolis effect. This is a consequence of earth's spin that causes the path of anything moving to appear to bend from the perspective of someone standing on earth. In the northern hemisphere paths bend to the right. In the southern hemisphere they turn to the left. This effect is generally negligible over short distances, but over long distances, such as the are of influence of a tropical storm, it becomes significant. In a tropical storm air flows inward due to low pressure, but the Coriolis effect causes the air to change course before reaching the center of lowest pressure. Since this happens to air flowing in from all sides, it causes the whole system to rotate counterclockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise if it is in the southern hemisphere.
How does the position of the sun chnge in the sky with the change of seasons?
The Earth orbits around the Sun. The orbit is elliptical - all orbits are - but the "eccentricity" of the orbit is pretty small. That means, it's only a little different from a circle. The path of the Earth around the Sun doesn't really contribute to the seasons. The Earth spins like a gyroscope, and like a gyro, it is VERY stable. But the gyro is tilted, and it STAYS tilted. The "tilt angle" isn't great; it is approximately 23.5 degrees. It is this tilt, which we call "axial tilt", that causes the seasons.
What is the surface currents north of the equator are?
Because of the spinning of the Earth, wind and ocean currents closest to the equator will travel straighter. Wind and ocean currents further from the equator will deflect away from the equator.Ê
Does the path of the sun change on March 21?
Yes the sun enters the northern hemisphere.
Describe the path of air as it travels into a low-pressure area in the northern hemisphere?
Winds in the Northern Hemisphere tend to blow clockwise out of areas of high pressure and counterclockwise into areas of low pressure.
What month does the sun follow the shortest path across the sky?
If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, then the month is December.
What month does the sun follow the longest path across the sky?
It depends where you are on Earth - in the Northern Hemisphere the sun is in the sky longest in June. In the Southern Hemisphere, it's December.
The deflection of air masses resulting from earths eastward rotation?
This is the Coriolis Effect. The curvature appears within the rotating reference frame, in which the motion is a straight path being viewed as a curved path. In the northern hemisphere, moving objects appear to turn to the right. In the southern hemisphere, moving objects appear to turn to the left. For a path exactly along the equator, the effect disappears.
Why does it get darker sooner in the winter?
Because the Earth is tilted on its axis. In the winter, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, so the path you travel on the Earth is more in the dark. Note that this is not true all over the Earth. On the equator, the days and nights are always equal. In the Southern hemisphere, it's the opposite of the Northern hemisphere.

What is the clockwise deflection of air in the Northern Hemisphere and the counterclockwise deflection of air in the Southern Hemisphere?
The deflection is to the right of the path of motion of the wind.
In between June 21 and September 21 days become shorter or longer?
The time period that you are referring to is called the summer solstice. This is the time when the earth's path around the sun has forced the Northern Hemisphere to start pointing directly at the sun. At that point, every part of the Northern Hemisphere sees the sun for more than 12 hours and every part of the Southern Hemisphere sees the sun for less than 12 hours.So the answer is: for the Northern Hemisphere, the days become longer, and for the Southern Hemisphere, the days become shorter.Hope this helps ~ CB
What happens to the daylight period in the northern hemisphere after December 21st'?
The time period that you are referring to is called the summer solstice. It begins around June 21-22 and ends around September 22. This is the time when the earth's path around the sun has forced the Northern Hemisphere to start pointing directly at the sun. At that point, every part of the Northern Hemisphere sees the sun for more than 12 hours and every part of the Southern Hemisphere sees the sun for less than 12 hours.Hope this helps ~ Concentration Bubble
