Analyze the diagram and select what season(s) are occurring in each hemisphere.
The southern hemisphere is experiencing summer.
The northern hemisphere is experiencing summer.
The northern hemisphere is experiencing fall.
The southern hemisphere is experiencing spring.
The southern hemisphere is experiencing winter.
The northern hemisphere is experiencing winter.
To determine the seasons in each hemisphere, it’s essential to understand that when one hemisphere experiences summer, the opposite hemisphere experiences winter, and vice versa.
– If the southern hemisphere is experiencing summer, then the northern hemisphere is experiencing winter.
– If the northern hemisphere is experiencing fall, the southern hemisphere would be in spring.
– If the southern hemisphere is experiencing winter, then the northern hemisphere must be experiencing summer.
– If the northern hemisphere is experiencing winter, then the southern hemisphere is experiencing summer.
Thus, the correct pairings are typically:
– Southern Hemisphere: Summer → Northern Hemisphere: Winter
– Northern Hemisphere: Fall → Southern Hemisphere: Spring
So, out of the statements you’ve given:
– “The southern hemisphere is experiencing summer.” (True, this means the northern hemisphere is in winter)
– “The northern hemisphere is experiencing summer.” (This is false in relation to the previous statement)
– “The northern hemisphere is experiencing fall.” (True, this means southern hemisphere is in spring)
– “The southern hemisphere is experiencing spring.” (True if northern hemisphere is in fall)
– “The southern hemisphere is experiencing winter.” (False if northern is in summer)
– “The northern hemisphere is experiencing winter.” (True, means southern is in summer)
So if we combine this information, we get clarity on which seasons are occurring based on the oppositional nature of hemispherical seasons.
