Question
Chapter 34, Problem 9TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Season is distribution of the year which is pronounced by the changes in the weather, amount of sunlight and ecology. The season of the polar region is decided by the amount of the sunlight reach the earth surface which may cause hibernation of migration by animals and dormancy by plants.
