Seasonal Changes

Seasonal changes refer to the variations in weather and environmental conditions that occur at different times of the year due to the tilt of the Earth’s axis and its orbit around the sun. These changes result in the division of the year into distinct seasons—typically spring, summer, autumn (fall), and winter—each characterized by unique temperature ranges, precipitation patterns, and daylight duration.

Seasonal changes significantly affect ecosystems, influencing plant growth, animal behavior, and overall biodiversity. For instance, many plants bloom in response to the warmer temperatures of spring, while animals may migrate or enter hibernation in response to seasonal temperature shifts. Human activities, agricultural practices, and cultural traditions are also often aligned with seasonal changes, marking times for planting and harvesting crops or celebrating seasonal festivals. Understanding seasonal changes is essential for comprehending the broader impacts of climate patterns and ecological cycles.
