Seasons are influenced by the following factors:
1. The axis of the Earth is as follows: The tilted axis of the Earth is the primary cause of seasonal fluctuations. The Earth's axis is slanted at a 22.5-degree angle. There are periods of the year when the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun (about June) and times of the year when the South Pole is slanted towards the Sun (around December) (around December).
2. Sunlight has an impact on the seasons, notably because of the sun's location and the Earth's surface, which reflects the light. During the summer months, the sun is directly overhead, allowing the maximum amount of heat to be transferred to the earth.
3. Elevation has an impact on the seasons as well. It is for this reason that certain regions are frigid even in the summer. Higher heights are often colder, with life being difficult to maintain at the highest altitudes.
4. Wind patterns: As the seasons vary, so do the wind patterns. During the winter, cold air gathers in the northern hemisphere, while the air in the southern hemisphere heats up. The reverse scenario prevails for the other half of the year, resulting in wind patterns that blow from north to south or vice versa.
5. Global warming is the term used to describe the planet's total temperature rise. The combustion of fossil fuels and the removal of forests are the causes. As a result, global warming has an even greater impact on the earth's seasons. It has detrimental effects on the seasons, such as disrupting rainfall patterns, making summers excessively hot and lengthy, shortening winters, melting ice caps on mountains and at the poles of the globe, and so on.
