CH 8 INDIA CLIMATE , VEGETATION AND WILD LIFE

Here is a guide tour to the 6 seasons of India as per the Hindu… Spring (Vasant Ritu) … Summer (Grishma Ritu) … Monsoon (Varsha Ritu) … Autumn (Sharad Ritu) … Pre-winter (Hemant Ritu) … Winter (Shishir or Shita Ritu)

In spring, the weather begins to get warmer and trees and other plants grow new leaves. Summer is the hottest season and has long, usually sunny, days. In the fall, the weather becomes mild and leaves start falling from many types of trees. Winter is the coldest season, with short days.

As the earth spins on its axis, producing night and day, it also moves about the sun in an elliptical (elongated circle) orbit that requires about 365 1/4 days to complete. The earth’s spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons.

The four seasons are spring, summer, fall (autumn), and winter.

There are four types of seasons on earth: spring, autumn, winter and summer. These seasons are characterized by differences in temperature and the length of daylight. These seasons are found only in the temperate zones. The equatorial regions do not have any noticeable seasonal changes.

The definition of a season is one of the four division in a calendar year, the best time to do something or when something typically happens. An example of season is winter. An example of season is football games being played from the beginning of September to February. A period of time.

The four seasons—spring, summer, fall, and winter—follow one another regularly. Each has its own light, temperature, and weather patterns that repeat yearly. In the Northern Hemisphere, winter generally begins on December 21 or 22. This is the winter solstice, the day of the year with the shortest period of daylight.

A season is a division of the year based on changes in weather, ecology, and the number of daylight hours in a given region. On Earth, seasons are the result of Earth’s orbit around the Sun and Earth’s axial tilt relative to the ecliptic plane.

Biotic function values of wildlife are those values that result from the ways in which animals interact with the biosphere and the geosphere. These include pollination, nutrient cycling, pest control and many others.

Earth’s natural resources include air, minerals, plants, soil, water, and wildlife.
