The correct responses that describe how the tilt of Earth's axis and its movement around the Sun play a part in the changing of the seasons in the Northern Hemisphere are:

  1. Winter begins in the northern hemisphere when it's tilted away from the Sun.
  2. Seasonal change is caused by the tilt of each hemisphere relative to the sun as the Earth moves around the Sun.
  3. Summer begins in the northern hemisphere when it's tilted towards the Sun.

The other options are incorrect:

  • The Moon's gravitational pull causes the change in seasons. (This is incorrect as the Moon's gravitational pull affects tides, not seasons.)
  • The amount of sunlight the Southern Hemisphere receives directly affects the Northern Hemisphere's seasons. (This is misleading; each hemisphere experiences seasons independently.)
  • The Earth's rotation speed determines the seasons. (Rotation does create day and night but does not change the seasons.)
  • The Earth's orbit around the Moon influences the seasonal changes. (The Moon orbits Earth, not the other way around, and does not influence seasonal changes.)
