a) A: Axis, B: Earth’s atmosphere, C: Equator [A1]

b)[A1]

c) It is likely December. In December, the Northern Hemisphere faces away


from the Sun and experiences winter. The Southern Hemisphere faces the Sun
and experiences summer. [A1]

d)Places nearer to the Equator do not experience four seasons. [A1] Places
nearer to the Equator receive the same amount of sunlight and heat all year
round. [A1] As such, these places do not experience the four seasons and it is
usually warm all year round.
8.
a) It is the continuous movement of water from the Earth’s surface, to the sky and
back to the Earth. [A1]
b) [A1]

c) 1: When the water droplets in the clouds get bigger and become too heavy
to stay in the clouds, they fall as rain. This process is called precipitation. [A1] 2:
The Sun heats up water on the surface of the Earth. Water particles gain energy
from the Sun. There is a change in state from liquid to gas. This process is called
evaporation. [A1]
3: Water vapour loses energy to the cold air and condenses to form tiny water
droplets. This process is called condensation. The tiny
water droplets gather and form clouds. [A1]
d) As all living things need water to stay alive, the water cycle ensures that
there is a continuous supply of fresh water for survival. [A1]
