select the correct answer
earths axis is tilted to one side. which phenomenon would cease to exist in the absence of this axial tilt?
a. sunrise
b. solstice
c. neap tides
d. lunar eclipses

Explanation:

• Sunrise: Caused by Earth's rotation, not axial tilt.
• Solstice: Occurs due to Earth's axial tilt. Without tilt, there would be no solstice as it marks the extreme positions of the Sun's declination related to the tilt.
• Neap tides: Result from the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun, not axial tilt.
• Lunar eclipses: Happen due to the alignment of Earth, Moon, and Sun, not directly because of axial tilt.

Answer:

B. solstice
