Expert Solution

Step 1

Part I

Earth's axis is tilted by $23.5 °$ . This tilt has great effect on earth's climate. If the the tilt is increased to $32.5 °$ , there will be significant change in the climate. This is so because the closer the hemisphere, more and intense heat, the earth will receive. While the farther the hemisphere, less heat and sunlight will be received.

San Diego will be receive more heat and sunlight during summer. Therefore, summer will become more warmer and winter will become more colder.
