The tilt always points the same way (towards the north star). In summer the pole is pointed toward the sun, and in winter its pointed away. This changes the amount of direct sunlight a portion of the Earth will receive. The more direct sunlight, the warmer the weather. So when a hemisphere of Earth is tilted toward the sun, it is summer. Away, and it is winter.

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 four types of plate movements can cause earthquakes?

The four types of plate movements that can cause earthquakes are convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, transform boundaries, and subduction zones. These movements can result in the buildup of stress within the Earth's crust, which may eventually be released in the form of an earthquake.


What is the name for the cycles resulting from changes in earths movements and that may cause ice ages?

The cycles resulting from changes in Earth's movements are called Milankovitch cycles. These changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt can affect the amount and distribution of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface, potentially leading to ice ages.


How does the til of earths axis cause the seasons?

The tilt of Earth's axis causes the seasons by affecting the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface. When one hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it receives more direct sunlight and experiences summer, while the opposite hemisphere is tilted away and experiences winter. As Earth orbits the sun, the tilt causes the seasons to change.


What evidence is there that distance from the sun is not a cause of the seasons?

The tilt of Earth's axis is the primary cause of the seasons, not the distance from the sun. This tilt results in different parts of the Earth receiving varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, creating the seasonal changes. If distance from the sun were the cause of the seasons, both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres would experience the same seasons at the same time.

How do the tilt of earths axis and earths movements around the sun cause season?

Seasons are caused as the Earth, tilted on it’s axis, travels in a loop around the sun each year. For example, summer happens in the hemisphere tilted towards the sun, winter happens in the hemisphere tilted away from the sun. The poles stay cool because they are never in a direct path of sun light.(those are just examples they’re not really part of the answer.)
