Seasonal Changes

Seasonal changes refer to the variations in weather, climate, and environmental conditions that occur throughout the year, typically divided into four distinct seasons: spring, summer, autumn (or fall), and winter. These changes are primarily driven by the tilt of the Earth’s axis and its orbit around the sun, which affect sunlight intensity and duration in different regions.

Each season has unique characteristics: spring often brings warmer temperatures, blooming flora, and increased rainfall; summer is typically marked by high temperatures and longer daylight hours; autumn features cooler temperatures and falling leaves as many plants prepare for winter; and winter is characterized by cold temperatures and, in many regions, snow and frost.

Seasonal changes impact various aspects of life, including agriculture, animal behavior, and human activities. For example, many crops are planted and harvested according to the season, and many animals exhibit seasonal migration or hibernation patterns. Additionally, human cultures often celebrate seasonal changes through festivals, holidays, and traditions that reflect the unique features and significance of each season.
