  1. WHAT CAUSES VARIATIONS IN INSOLATION?

  2. A. SPATIAL B. TEMPORAL 1. Annual 2. Seasonal 3. Daily

  3. A. SPATIAL Position on the surface of the Earth with respect to the Equator and the Poles as indicated by a place’s latitude is crucial. B. TEMPORAL 1. Annual 2. Seasonal 3. Daily

  4. A. SPATIAL Position on the surface of the Earth with respect to the Equator and the Poles as indicated by a place’s latitude is crucial. B. TEMPORAL 1. Annual The Earth’s orbit around the Sun is NOT perfectly circular - at some times of the year the Earth is closer than average, at others it is further away. 2. Seasonal 3. Daily

  5. A. SPATIAL Position on the surface of the Earth with respect to the Equator and the Poles as indicated by a place’s latitude is crucial. B. TEMPORAL 1. Annual The Earth’s orbit around the Sun is NOT perfectly circular, at some times of the year the Erath is closer than average, at others it is further away. 2. Seasonal The Earth’s axis of rotation is permanently tilted at 23.5°. This tilt has an extremely important effect in modifying the role of latitude and is the primary reason for seasons on Earth 3. Daily

  6. A. SPATIAL Position on the surface of the Earth with respect to the Equator and the Poles as indicated by a place’s latitude is crucial. B. TEMPORAL 1. Annual The Earth’s orbit around the Sun is NOT perfectly circular, at some times of the year the Erath is closer than average, at others it is further away. 2. Seasonal The Earth’s axis of rotation is permanently tilted at 23.5°. This tilt has an extremely important effect in modifying the role of latitude and is the primary reason for seasons on Earth 3. Daily The Earth rotates around its own axis once every 24hrs, giving varying lengths of daylight (period when insolation is received). During the course of this period, the Sun is constantly moving in the sky and changing the quantity of insolation.
