Instructions
This is a brief quiz about the lecture on Earth's orbit and seasons. This material is a particularly important
part of physical geography -- hence the increase in the number of points and questions.
For fun and to get you in the mood and also to check your "level of understanding" of this
material,
please take a look at when the "McDowell Sonoran Preserve" (Scottsdale) opens. The later
and later time of opening is because the days are getting shorter and shorter. So based on the times of
opening you see below -- what time period would you THINK would have the shortest days? ANSWER: OOPS!!! The folks running this preserve are good people. They just don't have a clear grasp that the December
solstice (21st or 22nd) is the shortest day of the year ... so Dec 15th-Dec 31 should have the latest opening.
