Practice questions

1 of 44Practice questions for this set
A student uses a model of the repeating seasonal cycle (Earth orbiting the Sun; axis tilt stays pointed the same direction). The orbit direction is shown with arrows. Model sequence for the Southern Hemisphere:
  • Position A: Southern Hemisphere tilted toward the Sun
  • Position B: one-quarter orbit later
  • Position C: half an orbit after Position A (Southern Hemisphere tilted away from the Sun)
Which statement must be true if the cycle continues from Position C to the next position?
