Earth's Tilt - Impact on Climate, Life, and Human Evolution
Offered By: Arvin Ash via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the profound impact of Earth's axial tilt in this informative video. Discover how the planet's 23.5-degree tilt shapes climate, seasons, and life itself. Learn about the origins of Earth's tilt, its effects on weather patterns, and how it influences plant and animal evolution. Examine the potential consequences of a non-tilted Earth, including the absence of seasons, altered agricultural practices, and possible changes in human evolution. Investigate the fascinating possibility of Earth turning into a snowball without its tilt, and understand the crucial role this celestial angle plays in maintaining our planet's delicate balance.
