If the earth’s axis were less tilted than it is today, the difference between the average temperatures of?

Question

a. decrease
b. be unchanged
c. increase
d. any of the above, depending on the location

Answer 1

A - Decrease (assuming you mean the difference between average high and average low temperatures)

Because with less tilt in the axis, at any given location on Earth there would be less change in the amount of sun it receives over the course of a year.

Answer 2

A - Decrease because the tilt of the earth wouldn't change as much. If the axis were more tilted, it would increase because there would be a larger range of temperatures in the poles and at the equator.

Answer 3

The answer is 'a'.If the tilt is less, the distance covered by the apparent movement of the sun from northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere and viceversa will be less with the result there will be less variation of average temperature between summer and winter or between adjacent months.

Answer 4

May not change depending on wether or not it affect the thermoaline belt... If it stops it, temperature will probably remain the same, if it is still going on, then the weather in North-america and Europe will raise.

Answer 5

Increase.

Answer 6

d. is the answer. At the equator it would get warmer. In countries like Canada would get colder because of the oblique angle of insolation. Albedo rates in Northern and Southern countries with ice packs would increase because of more snow, and it would mess up all of us fine people.

Answer 7

The answer is simply D. The tropical zones would become hotter, the temperate zones would warm as well since more solar radiation would incur, and the polar regions would become colder as little no no solar radiation would occur.
