Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -One of the main large-scale influences on climate is latitude – polar regions receive less concentrated sunlight than tropical regions. Seasonality arises from the tilt of the earth’s rotational axis with respect to its orbit around the sun, most noticeably at higher latitudes.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are five types of mid-latitude climates: mediterranean, humid subtropical, marine west coast, humid continental and subarctic.
Detailed explanation-3: -The earth’s spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons. When the earth’s axis points towards the sun, it is summer for that hemisphere. When the earth’s axis points away, winter can be expected.
