What Is The Difference Between Northern And Southern Hemispheres

Improved Essays
1) Table
2) Day length is related to latitude in the way that as you get close to the equator descending from the North Pole in the winter the amount of sunlight is grows, until hitting a full 24 hours of daylight at the South Pole. However in the summer it is the opposite. Starting at the North Pole with 24 hours of sunlight, it slowly decreases as you go down until it reaches 0 at the South Pole, when there is no sunlight at all. (For the North Pole it’s reversed, so it starts out at 0 in the beginning of winter). The differences between Northern and Southern Hemispheres; in the summer the Northern Hemisphere experiences more daylight and it is warmer, whereas in the winter it’s switched. Then during the winter in the Northern Hemisphere it’s colder and experiences little to no daylight, whereas in the Southern the amount of sunlight is longer and is

6) A. Winter B. Summer C. Spring D. Spring
7) Currently, since we are experiencing winter, the North Pole is pointed away from the sun. If the North Pole is pointed towards the sun then the South Pole is pointing away, which means the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing longer days.
8) Table
9) The rate of change is higher at high latitudes (North Pole/South Pole) because they experience a larger shift in the amount of daylight where as you get closer to the equator it becomes more even throughout the year.
10) Alaska gets more sunlight on average than the others because it experiences the biggest shift in the amount of daylight (goes from roughly 6 hours of daylight to 18 hours). Quincy experiences the least amount of sunlight on average because our lowest amount is 9 hours, and our highest amount is 15 hours.
11) There’s no 11 on the paper.

    I chose to change the inclination to a 75-degree angle for the third lab assignment. If I were a bird researcher studying a population of birds and the earth began to shift to a 75-degree inclination, the biggest change would be a rise in temperature at the latitude marked with the white “X”. At the original 35-degree inclination, the average temps for early spring are mild and as the months continue into summer; the average daily temperatures do not go above what is described as mild and a half. If a gradual shift began towards a 75-degree inclination, you would begin to see a rise in the temperatures for this region. In the early spring, you might still find mild temperatures but as the spring progresses into summer, the temperatures…

    Moreover, the data also shows us that there is a strong negative correlation between the Sunrise and the Sunset, which totally make sense for those two event take place in opposite time of the data and all the factor are different. 4. From the two plots we draw for the correlation between Minimum temperature and the Maximum Temperature and the correlation between Dew point and Pressure, we can easily learn from the graph that there is a strong correlation between the Minimum temperature and the Maximum Temperature since there is a upward sloping shown in the plot, which means that then the Maximum Temperature of a day increase, the Minimum temperature of that day will also increase, vice-versa. Moreover, we can also know from the graph that there is no correlation between the dew point and the pressure for there is only meaningless dot been shown on the plot…

    1.Because of the Earths daily rotation it causes the sun to appear to rise in the east and set in the west so it creates a day and night so the moon relies on the sun to set and rise during a certain time in the hemisphere 2.The seasons result from the 23.5-degree tilt of the Earth's axis combined with its revolution around the sun 3.The Moon's and Sun's gravitational pulls on Earth are responsible for this natural phenomenon creating the tides. Tides occur because the Moon's gravity decreases with distance from the Moon. 4. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon and the Earth casts a shadow on Moon.…

    East vs. West: The Great Hemispheric Clash The Eastern and Western hemispheres are unique in their own ways, the individualities between the two regions is explained by the isolation the Atlantic ocean gave them. The hemispheres had no idea of the others existence until the late 15th century. The Eastern hemisphere had resources at their disposal to help travel vast regions. Horses and camels enabled them to transport heavy materials, which help build kingdoms and empires. The Western Hemisphere went without this vital commodity, adapted to their environment in different less advanced ways.…

    Human development comes from many different factors. we have adapted and mutated into the beings we are today and with that we will continue to adapt and mutate to our surroundings as we live on. Now, when it comes to being culturally defined, I believe that human development can be culturally defined. For example, people that a re native to Africa have slim bodies and are naturally more cut muscularly do to the lack of food they are skinny, but with everything they do being a physical challenge they are more naturally defined than say an American, not as hard working and fed well. Human development can be culturally defined.…

    Other variations like the tilt and precession of Earth also affects the natural warming and cooling process of the climate. The Earth’s angle determines the intensity of the season changes. For example, if the planet has an increasing axial tilt, the contrast increases so the summer would be warmer and winter will be colder. Precession is the wobbling of the Earth on its axis back and forth. It determines how long or short the seasons would be.…
