    The document discusses the changing seasons and how they are caused by the Earth's tilted axis and orbit around the sun. It defines the four seasons - summer, winter, spring, autumn - and how the amount of sunlight and weather patterns vary for different regions depending on their proximity to the equator. Places closer to the poles experience more dramatic seasonal changes compared to equatorial regions. The tilted axis is responsible for the Earth receiving different amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to seasonal temperature variations.

    THE CHANGING

    SEASONS
    INTRODUCTION
    ⬩ Environment changes slowly and steadily.

    ⬩ Why? Due to the things we do.

    ⬩ Every year, regular changes takes place to the earth


    because of the changing seasons.

    2
    WHAT ARE THE SEASONS?
    ⬩ A season = a time of the year when you can expect a
    special type of weather.

    ⬩ Northern Europe and New Zealand = hotter in


    summer, colder in winter.

    ⬩ It rains almost anytime.

    3
    ⬩ Places which are closer to the north and south of the
    Equator, have all four seasons, namely summer,
    winter, spring and autumn.

    ⬩ The changing seasons affect the way people live.

    ⬩ It also affects the crops.

    ⬩ It also affect the clothes we wear and places we


    ⬩ visit.
    4
    DIFFERENT SEASONS
    ⬩ Near the Equator is it nearly always hot, although
    there are dry and rainy seasons in some areas.

    ⬩ Around Mediterranean Sea


    -hot and dry (summer) – May to August.

    5
    -short autumn – September to October
    -cool and wet winter – November to February
    -spring – March and April

    India, Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand & Vietnam


    -monsoon climate
    -March to June – dry and hot
    -July to October – heavy monsoon rain
    -November to February – dry and warm

    6
    THE
    TILTE
    D
    EARTH

    7
    ⬩ Not only does the Earth revolve around the Sun
    every year, but the Earth rotates on its axis every 24
    hours.

    ⬩ This is what we call a day.

    ⬩ However, the Earth doesn't rotate in a straight up and


    down manner relative to the Sun.

    8
    ⬩ It is slightly tilted.

    ⬩ In scientific terms, the Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees from its orbital
    plane with the Sun.

    9
    THE TILTED EARTH
    ⬩ We have seasons because the Earth moves around the Sun.

    ⬩ It makes one complete journey around the Sun every year.

    ⬩ The Earth is slightly tilted and so the weather us different at


    different times of the year.

    10
    ⬩ In autumn the amount of time it is light becomes less, the leaves
    start to change colour and fall off the trees. Autumn is called Fall in
    the United States of America. 

    ⬩ In winter we have colder weather, sometimes snow and frost, the


    trees have no leaves and the amount of time it is light during the day
    is at its shortest. 

    11
    ⬩ In spring the weather usually turns warmer, trees begin to grow
    their leaves, plants start to flower and young animals such as chicks
    and lambs are born. 

    ⬩ In summer the weather is usually warm, trees have full green


    leaves and the amount of time is it light for during the day is
    longer.
