What layer of Earth's mantle do plates slide over?
Tectonic plates are part of the Earth's crust known as the lithosphere. They slide over the outer part of the Earth's mantle called the asthenosphere.
Why is the part of the earth that is tilted towards the sun warmer?
The Sun is just so hot that even a slight tilt towards the Sun will make it warmer, which is one of the reasons why nights are usually cooler than the day.
What causes the difference in temperature between summer and winter?
The said temperature is cooler compared to the surrounding environment in the Summer and warmer in the winter. Just because there is a temperature difference between the environment and the said temperature, it creates the illusion that it is cooler in the Summer and warmer in the Winter.
What is the densest part of earth?
The densest part of earth is the core.
Is Earth's crust part of the atmosphere?

What part of speech is the word WARMER?
The word warmer is an adjective. It means to be more warm.
How does the tilt of earth contribute the occurrence of the seasons?
The tilt in the earth's axis produces the seasons. Due to the tilt, the sun's rays cover a smaller area of the Northern hemisphere in summer, making the rays more direct and hotter . They are diffused over a large area in winter making for less heat from the sun. If the earth were not tilted the sun's rays would be equally direct at all times.
Is it true that The part of the Earth tilted toward the Sun is hotter than other regions because that part receives more focused rays of the Sun?
Yes. The seasons occur because the part of the Earth tilted toward the Sun is different at different times of the year, and so at one part of the year it will be warmer than at another.
In what part of Earth do tropical storms form?
They form over the oceans
What part of the earth is directly over the sun during equinox?
Equator.
Why is it summer in the northern hemisphere at the same time it is winter in the southern hemisphere?
because the northern part of the earth tips towards the sun, obviously leaving the southern part to tip away from it, and the closer you are to the sun the warmer it is.
