Solution
→
Earth is tilted on its axis. The rays of the Sun fall directly on the equator, heating the equator more than the other regions.
They fall slanting or obliquely as you move north or south of the equator.
Hence, this causes earth to heat unevenly, forming wind and ocean currents and sustaining life.
