The Four Seasons : Change Marks the Passing of a Year :

The passing of a year can bring a marked change in the weather and the surrounding environment.

The four seasons — winter, spring, summer, autumn — can vary significantly in characteristics, and can prompt changes in the world around them.

Let's take an overview of these four separate periods.

The annual cycleAttributes of the seasons may vary by location, but there are still broad definitions that cross most of the boundaries.

In thespring, seeds take root and vegetation begins to grow.

The weather is warmer, and often wetter.

Animals wake or return from warmer climates, often with newborns.

Melting snow from the previous season, along with increased rainfall, can cause flooding along waterways, according to theFederal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA).

N thesummer, temperatures may increase to their hottest of the year.

If they spike too high, heat waves or droughts may cause trouble for people, animals, and plants.

For example, in the summer of 2003, the high temperatures claimed more than 30, 000 lives, according toEncyclopedia Britannica.

Rainfall may increase in some areas, as well.

Others may receive less water, and forest fires may become more frequent.

In theautumn, or fall, temperatures cool again.

Plants may begin to grow dormant.

Animals might prepare themselves for the upcoming cold weather, storing food or traveling to warmer regions.

Various cultures have celebrated bountiful harvests with annual festivals.

Thanksgiving is a good example.

"Thanksgiving in the United States is a historical commemoration but it has a spiritual dimension strongly associated with homecoming and giving praise for what has been bestowed upon us, " Cristina De Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London, told Live Science.

Winteroften brings a chill.

Some areas may experience snow or ice, while others see only cold rain.

Animals find ways to warm themselves, and may have changed their appearance to adapt.

"In a similar way to the Autumnal theme, Winter festivals celebrate the return of the light during a time of deepest physical darkness, " said De Rossi.

The Indian festival of Diwali, for example, which takes place between October and November, celebrates the triumph of righteousness, and of light over darkness.
