Is it true that after the haiti earthquake the earth speed changed and the axis shifted?
It is unlikely to have made a significant impact: the energy of an earthquake is very small compared to the energy in Earth's rotation.
Does space dust fall uniformly over the earth's surface or is the accumulation affected by the earth's rotation?
The Earth's rotation is one important factor that works to guarantee that the accumulation of fine interplanetary detritus on its surface WILL be uniform.
What is unique about how the Sun rotates around its axis?
It is affected by differential rotation. The Sun is not solid and it rotates faster at its equator than at its poles.
If earth stops to rotate what happens to gravity?
Nothing, the force of gravity is not affected by Earth's rotation. However measurement of WEIGHT would change.
What was the date of the most destructive tsunami ever recorded?
The most destructive, though not the largest, tsunami ever recorded was the Boxing Day 2004 tsunami.The Sumatra-Andaman earthquake on 26 December 2004resulted in an earthquake with the magnitude of 9.3 occurring on the ocean floor near the west coast of Sumatra, perhaps the most devastating tsunami ever recorded, the height of the wave was only about 100 feet, far from the largest. Over 230,000 people were killed. The impact of this earthquake affected the time of the Earth's rotation time and It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 cm (0.4 inches).
How is the Great red spot affected by Jupiter's rotation?
The Great red spot is affected by Jupiter's rotation by decreasing in size. The rotation of the spot has also decreased over time.
What does the rotation of earth causes?
earthquake No, not earthquake, but changes in atmospheric pressure.
Did the recent earthquake in japan speed up the earths rotation?
No.
How is the Earth affected by its rotation?
Day and night
Night and day is affected by?
The rotation of the Earth.
How are the size and the orientation of the triangle affected by the rotation?
The size does not change and the orientation is altered by the extent of the rotation.
How have tides been affected by the earth's rotation?
They are slowing it.
How do earthquake activity change the earths surface?
By slowing down the earths rotation but will not make effect to humans .
Is it true that after the haiti earthquake the earth speed changed and the axis shifted?
It is unlikely to have made a significant impact: the energy of an earthquake is very small compared to the energy in Earth's rotation.
Why are you not affected by the earth's rotation?
Because we are being carried round with it, and the angular velocity is not sufficient to overcome gravity.
Is the speed at which the earth rotates constant?
No. Earth's rotation speed is affected by the gravitational pull of the sun, moon and planets.
Does space dust fall uniformly over the earth's surface or is the accumulation affected by the earth's rotation?
The Earth's rotation is one important factor that works to guarantee that the accumulation of fine interplanetary detritus on its surface WILL be uniform.
