Question

what happens when the south end of earths axis is tilted toward the sun?
○ the northern hemisphere experiences fall.
○ the northern hemisphere experiences spring.
○ the southern hemisphere experiences winter.
○ the southern hemisphere experiences summer.

Explanation:

When the south end of Earth’s axis is tilted toward the Sun, the Southern Hemisphere receives more direct sunlight, leading to summer there. The Northern Hemisphere, tilted away, has winter (so options about Northern Hemisphere fall/spring are wrong, and Southern Hemisphere winter is wrong).

Answer:

D. The Southern Hemisphere experiences summer. (Assuming the options are labeled A - D as per typical multiple - choice, with the last option being D. If original labeling differs, adjust the identifier but the text remains "The Southern Hemisphere experiences summer.")
