How does the Earths tilt lead to weather extremes?
So far, you have received three good answers telling you why the temperature at a certain place changes with the seasons and the difference of tilt of the earth. But the “weather extremes” you are talking about, come not from the absolute temperature but the relative difference of temperature between different places. Consider this: At the equator, the temperature varies very little with the seasons. At the poles, it varies very much because the pole has one “day” of six months and one “night” of six months. It means that during the winter, the difference between the temperature at the pole and the equator is much greater. Now, there is a front, usually at latitude 60, between the cold and dry polar air, and the mild and usually moist sub-tropical air. During the winter the difference of temperature between those two meeting air masses is much greater and when the warm and moist air climbs over the cold and dry one, it creates deeper lower pressures that causes stronger wind and more p
