Question 1:

Medium

When we observe the sky on clear nights, it is possible to notice that the stars seem to move from east to west. This 'movement' is an illusion created by the Earth's rotation around its own axis, which takes approximately 24 hours to complete. In addition to this movement, the Earth undergoes another one, known as the translational movement, around the Sun, which takes about 365.25 days to complete and is responsible for the occurrence of the seasons. Based on these movements, explain: 1) How does the Earth's rotation influence the notion of time (days and nights) that we have on the planet's surface? 2) In what way does the tilt of the Earth's axis and the translational movement result in the variation of the seasons in different hemispheres?

Question 2:

Medium

Understanding the movements of the Earth is essential to explain phenomena such as the seasons, the variation in the length of days, and the differences in time zones. Consider that the Earth performs two main movements: rotation, which is the Earth's spin around an imaginary axis, and translation, which is the Earth's movement around the sun. The combination of these movements and the tilt of the Earth's axis result in phenomena observed periodically every year.

Question 3:

Medium

The Earth performs two main movements in its journey through space: rotation and translation. The inclination of Earth's axis of rotation and its orbit contribute to the occurrence of the seasons. Based on these movements and the position of Earth in relation to the Sun, what is the correct order of the seasons in relation to the location of Brazil?

Question 4:

Medium

One of the consequences of ocean circulation is the formation of marine currents, which are defined as continuous flows of water that move in specific directions in the ocean. What are the main types of marine currents?

Question 5:

Medium

Consider the following phenomenon observed in different parts of the globe: during the summer in the southern hemisphere, the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky at noon, casting shorter shadows, while in the winter, the solar height is lower and the shadows are longer. Explain, based on the knowledge of Earth's Movements, why the seasons occur and how the tilt of the Earth's axis influences the lighting and temperature in different regions. In addition, relate this phenomenon to the distribution of biomes on the planet.
