Understanding Seasons

Larissa Mesquita, a geography teacher, explains the concept of seasons, influenced by Earth's tilt and orbit. She discusses solstices and equinoxes, highlighting how seasons vary globally. The video emphasizes that temperature associations with seasons depend on the region. The tutorial concludes with an invitation to engage with the channel.

What are the four seasons commonly recognized?

• North, South, East, West

• Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter

• Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night

• Rainy, Dry, Hot, Cold

What is the primary reason for the occurrence of different seasons?

• The Earth's tilt and orbit around the Sun

• The Sun's changing temperature

• The Earth's rotation on its axis

What marks the beginning of a season?

• The Sun's position at noon

• The Earth's rotation

• The Moon's phases

• Solstices and equinoxes

When does the summer solstice occur in the Northern Hemisphere?

What is an equinox?

• A day when the Sun is closest to the Earth

• A day when day and night are of equal length

• A day when the Earth is tilted away from the Sun

• A day when the Moon is full

How do seasons differ near the equator?

• They are more extreme

• They are less defined

• They occur twice a year

• They are opposite to the poles

What phenomenon occurs in polar regions during summer?

• Continuous daylight

• Continuous darkness

• Frequent rain

• High temperatures

In which regions are the four seasons most distinctly observed?

• Desert regions

• Temperate regions

• Polar regions

• Equatorial regions

What is a common misconception about summer and winter?

• Summer and winter have equal daylight

• Winter occurs only in the Northern Hemisphere

• Summer is the longest season

• Summer is always hot and winter is always cold

What should be considered when associating weather with seasons?

• The region's proximity to the equator

• The time of day

• The Earth's rotation speed

• The Moon's gravitational pull
