As the Earth is spinning along a slant axis a spiral centrifugal force is responsible which throw the continents of northern hemisphere to the north-east side of the earth and the continents of Southern Hemisphere to south-east of the earth slowly.Thats why south-western parts of the earths plates are higher than the north eastern parts.
Ballistic spin drift is the tendency of a spinning projectile (such as a bullet) to drift slightly to the side due to the gyroscopic effect created by its spin. This effect influences the trajectory of the projectile and can cause it to deviate from its intended path at longer ranges. Shooters need to account for ballistic spin drift when calculating their shots for increased accuracy.
what does earth spin on besides a inmaginary line? ============== Planet Earth rotates on its axis.
It can. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin. This usually keeps the bullet moving relatively straight (because of gyroscopic stabilisation). However, as the bullet slows down at longer ranges, the spinning can cause it to wobble and drift. This is called spin drift. Spin drift can be upwards, so yes, rifling can cause a bullet to go up, but only at extreme ranges.
yes
No, it takes 24 hours for the Earth to spin.
In continental drift it says that they were drifted apart by the spin of the earth and in seafloor spreading the earths crust is drifted apart by the ridges in the mid-ocean.
Each spin of the earth is called a rotation of the earth on it's axis.
The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.
The Earth spins on an axis.
A day is defined as the time it takes for the Earth to complete one full rotation on its axis, which is approximately 24 hours. The position of the sun and moon in the sky changes due to the Earth's rotation, causing the alternation of day and night.
No. Tidal interactions with the moon are gradually slowing the rate of Earth's spin
The earth doesn't spin because of gravity, and gravity has not ceased to exist.
