as the earth spins the world explodes
The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the the Earth's spin and the fact that it has molten iron in its core. When convecting molten metals spin they generate electric currents and with these a magnetic field.
Air currents are influenced by the Coriolis effect, a result of the Earth's rotation. This effect causes air to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, leading to the formation of distinct wind patterns. This is why prevailing winds generally move in a westerly direction in the mid-latitudes.
In the Northern Hemisphere, ocean currents spin in a clockwise direction due to the Coriolis effect, a force created by the Earth's rotation. This causes water to deflect to the right, leading to the clockwise movement of currents in the Northern Hemisphere.
Yes. When we're talking about the Earth, 'spin' and 'rotate' are the same thing.
A complete spin of the earth on it's own axis is the rotation. It takes approx. 24 hour for earth to take one complete rotation.
North of the equator, yes. South of the equator, they spin clockwise. Wind direction is affected by the spin of the Earth.
Nothing, the force of gravity is not affected by Earth's rotation. However measurement of WEIGHT would change.
Angle of inclination is a fancy term for earths tilt. So the angle of inclination is 23 1/2 %.
The earth's period of rotation is a few minutes short of 24 hours, whereas the moon's period of rotation is a bit over 27 days.
One of Earth's revolutions round the Sun (an orbit) takes 365.25 Earth days. One of Earth's revolutions around its axis of spin (a rotation) takes 24 hours.
The center core of the earth is solid iron surrounded by molten iron. The center is solid due to the great pressure and the spinning mass of molten iron around the solid iron core creates the electrodynamic effect that causes Earths magnetism. Our moon has little or no magnetic field because its core has long since cooled.
