a) The tilt of the Earth's axis
b) The distance from the equator
c) The presence of ocean currents
d) The elevation of the land
All of the above factors can contribute to the variation in seasonal conditions in different parts of the world. The tilt of the Earth's axis causes the changing angle and intensity of sunlight, which leads to different seasons. The distance from the equator affects how much sunlight reaches a particular region, influencing the length and intensity of seasons. The presence of ocean currents can moderate or amplify the effects of seasons by transporting warm or cold water to a region. The elevation of the land influences temperature patterns, with higher elevations generally experiencing cooler climates and more variable seasons.
