Question 25 • GA-GSE Earth Systems B

In December, a city in the Southern Hemisphere has warm weather all month long.What causes this to happen?

Answer
A
The city experiences fewer hours of daylight.
B
The city is experiencing a winter solstice.
C
There is a high concentration of the Sun’s rays in that region.
D
The Sun reaches its highest point in the sky during this month.

Explanation

In December, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, so sunlight strikes it more directly and is concentrated over a smaller area. This delivers more solar energy and helps keep the city warm; therefore, the correct choice is “There is a high concentration of the Sun’s rays in that region.”
