If the tilt of Earth's axis relative to its plane of orbit was increased 33.5 degrees, it would lead to more extreme seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres. Summers would become hotter and winters colder in most parts of the world, including the United States. Australia might experience less distinct seasons due to the changes in the axis tilt. However, option C, D and E are not likely to occur due to this change.
