Due to the tilt, the equator recieves more sunlight than other areas. If the earth was not tilited Alaska and Jamiaca would recieve the same amount of sun thereby causing plants that thrive best in humid, hot cultures to die out. Plants that grow better in the shade of in cold temperatures might also be non-existent. The same with the animals. No more polar bears....:(

chaos. Without our tilt, we would no longer have the seasons, so that would severly disturb everything from birds migration patternts to ocean currents. Our climate would no longer be stable and like i said, chaos.

There would be a change in rotation, orbit, temperature, Seasons and day length. We would have also evolved differently plants, animals, and humans.
