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?

C. The tilt of Earth's axis causes seasons to occur in certain zones. The angle at which the Earth is tilted as it orbits the sun affects the amount of sunlight different regions receive, resulting in changes in temperature and weather patterns.


Does the distance from the sun cause earth's seasons?

The distance from the Earth to the Sun is not a major component of the causes of the seasons.A more important factor is the inclination of the axis.See the answer to "What causes the Earth's seasons?"The Earth is far enough from the Sun that a minor change in it's distance would not cause a significant change in the tempature.


Does the same amount of rain on earth every year?

No, the amount of rain on Earth can vary each year due to different weather patterns and climate conditions. While some regions may experience consistent levels of rainfall annually, others may see fluctuations in precipitation levels.


Describe the seasons you would have if the earth axis were perpendicular to the plane of its orbit?

If the earth's axis were perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, the earth would still have winter and summer as the two main seasons. The two seasons would beÊoccurringÊdaily since the earth would still be rotating but on a perpendicular plane to its orbit.Ê


Which place on earth gets the least rainfall?

The place on Earth with the least amount of recorded rainfall is the Dry Valley in Antarctica.

Do we have seasons because earth is closer to the sun?

We do not have seasons because the earth is closer to the sun, we have seasons because the earth's axis rotation determines the amount of sunlight we get each day.


What is the total amount of rainfall on the earth in 2007?

This will likely not be entirely exact, but it should be a rough estimate. I'm going to assume that the average annual rainfall for Earth is 80 cm, or 8 E -4 km. The surface area of the earth is 5.1 E 8 sq. km. Simple multiply the two together and get 4.1 E 5 cubic km, or 4.1 E 17 liters (410,000,000,000,000,000 liters), which should be somewhat close to the total amount of rainfall on Earth in 2007.


How much rainfall falls in the Earth each year?

The rainfall in regions varies from place to place. If it is too hot and dry, the rainfall would be scanty (20 to50cm). if a little humid then a good amount of rainfall would be expected (100 to 200cm). If too humid then a large amount of rainfall (200 to 400mm). And if a rain forest then it would be a large amount (above 400mm).

If earths tilt didn't change would earth have seasons?

There would be no seasons on Earth if the Earth's axis had no tilt because throughout the year the Earth would get an equal amount of sun everywhere.


How are seaons made?

Seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun. This tilt creates variations in the amount of sunlight different regions receive over the course of a year, resulting in changes in temperature and weather patterns. As the Earth moves around the Sun, different hemispheres experience different seasons at different times.


The area of the Earth in which all four seasons are distinctively different is the?

Temperate Zone, and some regions of the Arctic.
