SHCCES P5 Science Ch1 Movement of the Earth

Why is there day and night?

• Day and night occur due to changes in the Earth's atmosphere.

• The sun moves around the Earth causing day and night.

• Day and night are caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis.

• Day and night are caused by the phases of the moon.

What causes the cycle of day and night?

• The tilt of the Earth's axis.

• The Earth's orbit around the Sun.

• The gravitational pull of the Moon.

• The rotation of the Earth on its axis.

How long does it take for the Earth to complete one rotation?

• 24 hours

• 48 hours

• 12 hours

• 36 hours

Why does time difference exist?

• Time difference occurs due to the varying lengths of days.

• Time difference is a result of seasonal changes.

• Time difference exists because of the Earth's rotation and the establishment of time zones.

• Time difference is caused by the speed of airplanes.

What are time zones?

• Time zones are imaginary lines that divide the Earth into equal parts.

• Time zones are the periods of daylight and darkness experienced in a day.

• Time zones are the names given to different countries around the world.

• Time zones are regions of the Earth with the same standard time, defined by their offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

How does the Earth's rotation affect sunlight?

• The Earth's rotation has no effect on sunlight distribution.

• The Earth's rotation causes day and night by changing which areas receive sunlight.

• The Earth's rotation increases the intensity of sunlight.

• The Earth's rotation causes seasonal changes in sunlight.

Why is the temperature higher in some places than in others?

• Temperature is higher in some places due to factors like latitude, altitude, and proximity to water.

• Temperature is influenced by the number of people in an area.

• Temperature is determined solely by the time of day.

• Temperature is higher in places with more trees.

How does the shape of the Earth affect sunlight distribution?

• The Earth's shape has no effect on sunlight distribution.

• The Earth's shape causes more sunlight at the poles than at the equator.

• Sunlight is evenly distributed across the entire surface of the Earth.

• The Earth's shape causes uneven distribution of sunlight, with more direct sunlight at the equator and less at the poles.

What angle does sunlight hit different areas of the Earth?

• Sunlight hits all areas of the Earth at the same angle.

• Sunlight hits different areas of the Earth at varying angles, more directly at the equator and more obliquely at higher latitudes.

• Sunlight is always perpendicular to the Earth's surface.

• Sunlight only hits the poles at a direct angle.

Why are there different seasons?

• Different seasons are caused by ocean currents.

• Seasons change due to the distance from the Moon.

• Different seasons occur due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the Sun.

• Seasons are determined by the Earth's speed in space.
