a. a calendar indicating the first days of autumn, winter, spring, and summer
b. four earth models, each with a different tilt to represent the earths position relative to the sun, lined up in order of season
c. a poster board with pictures of weather characteristic of the four seasons
d. a bar graph indicating average high and low temperatures for amandas area in the autumn, winter, spring, and summer
please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

The seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun. Four earth models with different tilts to represent the Earth's position relative to the sun in order of season best illustrate the scientific cause - and - effect relationship of seasons. A calendar just gives dates, a poster of weather pictures shows surface - level characteristics, and a bar graph of temperatures only shows temperature data without explaining the cause of seasons.

Answer:

B. Four earth models, each with a different tilt to represent the earth's position relative to the sun, lined up in order of season
