The angle at which sunlight hits Earth is one of the most important factors impacting the average temperatures in a region. - Higher angle (more direct) sunlight warms Earth more effectively. - Earth's axis is tilted by \( -23^{\circ} \). Earth currently makes a full rotation every 24 hours (the basis for our day) The tilt of the axis is why latitudes greater than \( 66^{\circ} \mathrm{N} \) don't receive any sunlight in the winter, or have any darkness in the summer It is also why equatorial regions are warmest-they receive the most direct sunlight year-round. Read the sentences below, and indicate which accurately describe the effects of Earth's rotation and the angle of the Sun. Select all that apply. View Available Hint(s) The tilt of Earth and the latitude of a city affect the degree and amount of direct sunlight that the location receives at the winter solstice From the spring equinox unti the fall equinox, the Sun shines continually at the North Pole (for 6 months). However, temperatures during this time never get very warm due to the high angle of the Sun striking Earth at the poles. You see the Sun directly overhead in Anchorage, Alaska, at \( 60^{\circ} \mathrm{N} \) on the summer solstice. This indicates that Earth is tilted at a \( 50^{\circ} \) angle The circumference of Earth at the equator is 24,900 miles. Based on this, a person at the equator is rotating 1040 miles per hour (Round to the nearest tens digit) Which of the following natural hazards is not necessarily storm related, but is influenced by weather? The statement, "The highest temperature ever recorded was \( 56.7^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\left(134^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right) \) in Death Valley National Park, CA, on July 10, 1913" provides information that can help understand Death Valley's
