Question

vocabulary activity questions 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 B is incorrect because indirect sunlight leads to winter (less heating).
• Option C is incorrect as Earth’s distance from the sun (perihelion/aphelion) has minimal impact on seasons (e.g., Northern Hemisphere summer occurs when Earth is farther from the sun).
• Option D is incorrect because “natural climate” and atmospheric warmth are results of seasons, not causes.
• Option A is correct: Summer occurs when a hemisphere receives direct sunlight (due to Earth’s axial tilt), which delivers more concentrated solar energy, causing warmer temperatures.

Answer:

A. direct sunshine from the sun hitting that hemisphere
