Question

4 based on the text, what causes a hemisphere on earth to have summer? a direct sunshine from the sun hitting that hemisphere b indirect sunshine from the sun hitting that hemisphere c that hemispheres closeness to the sun, relative to its closeness at other parts of the year d that hemispheres natural climate and the warmth of the earths atmosphere in that area

Explanation:

To determine the cause of summer in a hemisphere, we analyze the options:

• Option A: Direct sunshine (more concentrated solar radiation) hitting a hemisphere (due to Earth's tilt) leads to more heating, causing summer.
• Option B: Indirect sunshine is less concentrated and would not cause summer.
• Option C: Earth's distance from the sun (perihelion/aphelion) has minimal effect on seasons; tilt is key, so this is incorrect.
• Option D: Natural climate and atmospheric warmth are results of summer, not causes.

Answer:

A. direct sunshine from the sun hitting that hemisphere
