Answer 2

The country of South America that experiences winter in the month of June-July is- c) Uruguay.

• Both equator and tropic of Capricorn cut South America. However, a very small part of South America lies near the equator. Most part of it lies in the tropic of Capricorn.
• Thus, most of the countries of South America lies in the Southern hemisphere and hence, these countries experience winter in the month of May-July and summer in the month of November-January.
• Countries that lie near the equator are- Venezuela, Guyana, Ecuador, Suriname, Columbia, French Guyana and some parts of Brazil.
• Other countries of South America lie in the Southern hemisphere. Some of them are- Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay.
• This is opposite to the countries that lie in Northern Hemisphere where summer comes in May-July and winter comes in November-January. This happens due to the tilted axis of Earth.
