Question

Select the causes of extreme weather in Antarctica.

• A. Axial tilt of the Earth
• B. Revolution of the Earth around the Sun.
• C. Earth's natural magnetic orientation.
• D. Shadow cast by other planets on Earth

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A Axial tilt of the Earth
B Revolution of the Earth around the Sun.

Due to the axial tilt of the Earth, and the revolution of the Earth aound the Sun, Antarctica has a six month day-night cycle. The shadow of other planets are not cast on Earth, hence there is no interference with sunlight. Thus, the shadow of other planets cannot have an effect on climate change on Earth.
