The reason for the change in seasons is the tilt of the earth’s axis. It is not because of the earth’s distance from the sun like many people think. In the northern hemisphere, during winter, we are closer to the sun which is opposite of what most people assume. While the northern hemisphere is experiencing summer, the southern hemisphere is experiencing winter and vice versa. The sun is actually closer to the earth during the winter and farther away during the summer.
Rotation is when something turns with a circular movement around a central point. Revolution is the path of the earth around the sun or one complete cycle of orbit around the sun. When the earth is revolving, it is going through the days and the year. One full cycle of a

During the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, is when there is equal amounts of light and darkness. The sun rises and sets at due east and due west.
On the first day of fall in Cleveland, the sun will rise at 7:15am and it will set at 7:23pm. On the first day of winter in Cleveland, the sun will rise at 7:50am and will set at 5:00pm.
I learned a lot from this exercise, I learned that the change of the seasons is not exactly what I thought it was. I learned the difference between the earth’s revolution and rotation which was very interesting. I also learned when the shortest and longest days of the year happen. It was a very informative exercise to do.
The hydrosphere is all of the waters on the earth’s surface, it includes lakes, seas and more. The ocean itself, covers over 70% of the surface of earth. Around 2% is accounted for in the shape of glaciers and ice caps. There is a lot of water on earth. It makes me wonder why there are places going through dry spells if there is that much water that is on our planet. The way water moves in the water cycle is “The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats water in the oceans. Some of it evaporates as vapor into the air; a relatively smaller amount of moisture is added as ice and snow sublimate directly from the solid state into vapor. Rising air currents take the vapor up into the atmosphere, along with water from evapotranspiration, which is water transpired from plants and evaporated from the soil. The vapor rises
Where does our water come from? What is the hydrologic cycle, & how does it work?
3. Based on your answers, why is it warmer in summer than in winter? It is warmer in the summer then in the winter because the Earth’s tilt is

9. Midnight – The element of earth is associated with coolness. Since midnight is the coldest time of the day, a link is formed between midnight and the element of earth. In addition midnight is the darkest time on the earth. Since the element of earth is associated with darkness a natural link is formed with midnight.
The hydrological cycle is where water is stored in places like oceans and ponds, and then evaporated. Next, the water is condensed. Finally, water is rained down as precipitation and accumulates in ponds and oceans. This cycle continues repeatedly. Human activities that are detrimental to this cycle
Growing up, we all went through the water cycle lesson and we will never forget it. The reason being, we encounter the water cycle throughout our entire life and it will always effect our systems and more importantly our water system. As illustrated in the picture, our water cycle includes the processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, which then goes to many places. During evaporation, the sun is used as a main power to make this happen. The sun’s rays beat down onto the ground creating all of the moisture and water to fizzle into a gas state into the atmosphere and get stored away into the clouds. When it is stored into the clouds it is condensing. Condensation means that the gas is again forming itself back into its liquid state to get ready to return to Earth. The condensation then forms into precipitation. Precipitation comes in many different forms. You can see it as rain, snow, sleet, or hail making its way back to us. What happens to it then depends on the area. The water might end up as runoff, or become
A revolution is a shift, a turning point, a change in government. A revolution usually occurs when the majority of a nation is frustrated with the economic, political, or the social situation of their country. Two very interesting revolutions were the Haitian and the French revolutions. While the Haitian and French revolutions took place in close proximity to one another, the cause for the revolutions and results were quite different.
There are 4 seasons in America: Spring, summer, fall, and winter. In the springtime, (February- May) the first season in the year, it is mildly warm and sometimes cold. In the summertime, (June- August) the second season of the year, it is hot and sunny. In the fall, (September- November)
Here the four lesser sabbats falling on the solstices and equinoxes are talked about. First, we have the spring and fall equinox when day and night are equal. Then summer with its longest day and winter’s longest night.
The myth of Persephone explains how the seasons change. In the beginning of the myth Persephone was picking flowers and saw a narcissus and went to pick it and Hades rose from the under road in a golden chariot and took her. Demeter her mother searched for her and went into depression which caused everything to start to die ‘causing fall. Demeter went the other gods and found that Zeus made a deal with Hades to allow Hades marry Persephone. Demeter demanded for Zeus to allow her to see her daughter. He sent a messenger to receive her. He saw that she adapted to the life in the underworld and found her calling. Before she left, Hades gave her the fruit of life because she couldn't return to him if she was pure. Zeus compromised
During different times of the year, constellations change because the Earth Orbits the sun. The sun hides the other constellations with it's glare. Season are because sunlight hits directly on the North Hemisphere during the summer months and it hits it in the Southern Hemisphere during the winter months. Which explains the amount of heat that is received. I personally believe that during the hottest months of the year I am more productive, energetic and willing to do things. I also get more irritated with people and become more aggressive. During the months of winter I desperately await for spring to come because I know I am able to travel more and go outside instead of staying indoors more. During these months I feel more alone, isolated,
Much is unknown about the Zodiac killer, but given what is known about serial killers in general, this man was probably born between 1938 and 1943. That would make his age between 25 and 30 years old at the time of his first murder in Vallejo, California, in 1968. Also, that age estimate works with witness statements and it's supported by Zodiac's references to his victims in younger terms in his letters of 1969. Zodiac wasn't an attractive character from what we know. He may have had to wear glasses throughout his youth and his facial features weren't all that pleasing. So overall he may have been unpopular as a young boy and spent a good deal of time alone. It seems as though rejection is a big issue for Zodiac. No one knows anything
HYDROLOGIC CYCLE The hydrologic cycle is a constant movement of water above, on, and below the earth's surface. It is a cycle that replenishes ground water supplies. It begins as water vaporizes into the atmosphere from vegetation, soil, lakes, rivers, snowfields and oceans-a process called evapotranspiration. As the water vapor rises it condenses to form clouds that return water to the land through precipitation: rain, snow, or hail. Precipitation falls on the earth and either percolates into the soil or flows across the ground. Usually it does both. When precipitation percolates into the soil it is called infiltration when it flows across the ground it is called surface run off. The amount of precipitation that infiltrates, versus the
In order to properly summarize the question, one must start at the very basic level of simply defining what a family system is. The traditional thought of a family system is a man and a woman living together with children, but as we all know, relationships since then have evolved and are not always between a man and woman. The ideal family system encourages proper development in the child by meeting the developmental needs of the child in the areas of their emotional, physical, cultural and necessary stimuli. Today, there are same sex couples who try to function as a family system with children. By saying this I am not arguing that this is necessarily the correct way to function as a family, but all approaches to family systems have their
According to the Economic Thought textbook the summary of Malthus Population Theory deals with the misery and poverty among the lower classes of every nations. Thomas Robert Malthus was the first economist to propose a systematic theory of population. He states that a population when unchecked leads to population grow exponentially (i.e., doubling with each cycle) while food production grows at an arithmetic rate (i.e. by the repeated addition of a uniform increment in each uniform interval of time). Therefore, he mentions that there are two categories in which the increased population should abide by in order to support the operation on population growth. These includes: preventive that deals with moral constraints and “positive” checks. Moreover, the preventive checks to population growth are those that reduce the birth rate, which is seen as a deliberate decision by men to refrain from “pursing dictate of nature in an early attachment to one woman", i.e. to marry later in life than had been usual and only at a stage when fully capable of supporting a family. However, this implies that Malthus was interested in maintaining a large, hard-working, poorly paid population than he was in establishing really effective measures of limiting human reproduction. Another notion is positive checks is any causes that contributes to the shortening of human lifespans. It includes: poor living and working conditions which might give rise to low resistance to disease, as well as more
