5. Answer the Reading Check Question on page 55- How does the tilt of the Earth affect climate? (This is a difficult, tricky, complicated question. You can NOT just copy the answer out of the textbook. Because the answer is NOT EXACTLY found in the textbook. You will have to figure it out, think about the notes we took and discussed, and ... re-read page 55 to answer this well.

The tilt on the Earth affects the climate of where you live. If you live in the Tropics region then you will have warm temperatures because of the direct sun rays. How this region gets direct sun rays is that the earth's tilt is angled to the sun so most of the light is hitting in the middle of the world. Paces next to the Tropics gets sunlight and warm but not as much as bye the equator.

6. How does this relate to the Voyages of Columbus? Answer, and put in a link to YOUR Columbus Wind Project.

How the winds relate to columbes voyage is he used the winds to travel across the ocean. First columbus travels down south and then starts head left to cross the ocean. When he started to head west and Columbus had the wind behind is back to push him across the ocean. After he starts to head back he hits a 9 day dead spot of wind. That is becasue he reached 60* north where there is no wind. After the 9 days he starts to head east and now he has wind behind him. Now that has the wind behind his back he travels back to england at a fast pace.
