This diagram represents the first day of which season for the Northern Hemisphere?
Spring
Summer
Fall
Winter
Seasonal changes are caused by:
Earth's tilt and rotation

The North and South Poles have lower average temperatures than Earth's Equatorial regions. This is due to:
the lower angle of insolation received at the Poles
an increase in cloud cover over the Poles
the higher angle of insolation received at the Poles
less evaporation over the North & South Poles
