The Four Seasons NEXT SLIDE
What are Seasons? Seasons are the result of the tilt of the Earth's axis. This tilting is what gives us the four seasons of the year; spring, summer, autumn and winter. Since the axis is tilted, different parts of the globe are oriented towards the Sun at different times of the year. NEXT SLIDE
