Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • For question 20: Energy from the sun reaches the earth through radiation as there is a vacuum between the sun and the earth, and radiation can travel through a vacuum while conduction and convection require a medium.
  • For question 21: From September - March in the Northern - Hemisphere, the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun and receives less insolation (incoming solar radiation).
  • For question 22: In a temperate deciduous forest, trees have large leaves that fall in the fall to cope with winter and hot summers, and fresh - water is relatively abundant.

Answer:

  1. C. Radiation
  2. B. away from the Sun and receives less insolation.
  3. B. temperate deciduous forest
