  3. WARM-UP # 4 • Name the 2 movements that the Earth makes and describe each.

  4. WARM-UP # 4 • Rotation (rotates): occurs when the Earth moves on its axis. This takes 24 hours or 1 day. • Revolution (revolves): occurs when the Earth travels around the sun. This takes 365 ¼ days or 1 year.

  5. WARM-UP # 5 • When it is summer in New Jersey, what season is it in Australia? Explain your answer.

  6. Answer # 5 • It is winter in Australia. When the northern hemisphere (NJ) is tilted toward the sun, the southern hemisphere (Australia) is tilted away from the sun. The Earth’s tilt on its axis causes the seasons.
