base your answers to questions 11 through 13 on the diagram and data table below. the diagram represents the suns apparent paths as viewed by an observer located at 50°n. the data table shows the suns maximum altitude for

Explanation:

The tilt of the Earth's axis affects the seasons. A decrease in the tilt from 23.5° to 15° would result in less - extreme seasonal differences. Winters in the Northern Hemisphere would become warmer because the angle at which sunlight hits during winter would be less oblique compared to the current tilt, and summers would become cooler as the sunlight would be less direct than with the 23.5° tilt.

Answer:

c. warmer, and summers would become cooler
