How do seasons happen?

Seasons come to us regularly. We have probably noticed that it gets warmer in summer or dry
season while it get colder in the winter or wet season. However do we know how these seasons
change?
Seasons happen and change every year. This happens because the earth tilts back and forth as it
goes around the sun. During the summer, the earth tilts toward the sun. It makes half of the earth
hotter. This condition is what we call summer. During the other half of the year, the earth tilts
away from the sun. As a result, it makes that half of the earth cooler. This cool condition is then
what we call winter.
The different parts of the world have the same season at different times. In the northern half of
the world , winter happens during the months of December, January and February. The regions
are such North America and Europe. In the other hand, the southern half of the world has winter
during the months of June, July and August. The regions are like South America and Australia.
How does this difference happen? The same season happens at different times because the top
and bottom halves of the earth tilt away from the sun at different times.

Waves

When we are near to the lake or sea, we never see floating water up and down. It be called
waves. What Causes Waves? The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes).
The wind transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the sand molecules
and the water molecules. Stronger winds (like storm surges) cause larger waves. You can have
your own miniature waves by blowing across the surface of a pan of water. Waves of water does
not move horizontally, they only move up and down (a wave does not represent a flow of water).
You may see a demonstration of this by watching a floating buoy bob up and down with a wave;
it do not, however, move horizontally with the wave. Tsunamis (sometimes called tidal waves)
are different from surface waves; they is usually caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, or landslides.
