“When the North Pole tilts away from the Sun, the most direct rays strike the Southern Hemisphere. Now, the Southern Hemisphere receives more solar energy, experiences longer days, and thus has warmer temperatures.”-(World Geography Today, Holt, 2003) Based on the above description, the Northern Hermisphere experiences-
|
|
more direct rays striking the surface resulting in a hot and dry climate.
|
|
|
less solar energy and has cooler temperatures.
|
|
|
an increase in solar energy and moisture.
|
|
|
concentrations of energy that result in extreme temperatures.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -7. When the North Pole tilts towards the sun, the rays strike the Northern Hemisphere ore directly (warmer). 8. When the North Pole tilts away from the sun, the rays strike the Northern hemisphere less directly (cooler).
Detailed explanation-2: -For the Northern Hemisphere, the axis points most toward the sun in June (specifically around June 21), and away from the sun around December 21. This corresponds to the Winter and Summer Solstice (solstice is Latin for “the sun stands"). For the Southern Hemisphere, this is reversed.
