Answer 1

Obliquity or tilt is the inclination angle of the Earth's axis. It is responsible for seasonal changes. The correct option is A) The tilt of the Earth is responsible for the seasons.

What is the Earth's obliquity -tilt-?

The term obliquity or tilt refers to the inclination of the axis of the Earth. The plane in which the Earth orbits around the sun is not orthogonal to the Earth’s axis of rotation. The axis has an inclination angle called ecliptic obliquity.

Obliquity is a determinant of seasons' existence. Thanks to this inclination in the axis of the Earth there are seasons. If tilt would equal cero, there would not be any season or temperature change in different regions of the Earth. So tilt becomes a significant factor, especially for high latitude areas.

Obliquity is one of the three Milankovitch cycles, together with precession and eccentricity. These are used to explain natural climatic changes through the history of the Earth.

The correct option is A). The tilt of the Earth is responsible for the seasons.
