If the Earth's axis were tipped 35 degrees relative to the pole of the ecliptic which effect would be seen?

Currently the axis is tipped 23.5 degrees; increasing this would make the differences between the seasons more pronounced; Summer would be hotter, and Winter would be colder.

What effect does the earths tilt have on the equator?
No effect at all. However the plane of the equator will be tilted to the same amount as the Earth as compared to the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun. This plane is called "the ecliptic".
Is the Earths rotational axis tilted 23.5 degrees to the plane of orbital rotation around the Sun?
Earth is tilted at 23.5 degrees. it is thought to be of an impact by a moon size object billions of years ago. ============================ Another take on the same question: The Earth's axis is not parallel to anything else. The angle of 'tilt' depends on what you're comparing it to. If you compare it to the perpendicular to the plane of Earth's orbit, then the angle is about 23.5 degrees. It doesn't require an explanation, since no planet has an axis that's perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, there's no reason why it should, and the angle of 'tilt' is different for each planet.
Which out of the moon or the sun is more attracted to the earths ocean?
The moon has a greater effect than the sun on the earths oceans.
What causes the Coriolanus effect?
Earths rotation around its axis
What natural warming of both earth lower atmosphere and the earths surface is the blank effect?
greenhouse effect

What effect does the earth's tilt have on the altitudes of the sun and the moon?
The Earth's tilt means that the passage of the Sun through the sky moves from negative 23.5 degrees to positive 23.5 degrees. The moon does not orbit around the Earth's equator. Its orbit is inclined 5 degrees to the ecliptic.
What would be the effect on satellites now in orbit if earth were to not be rotating on its axis?
The earths rotation about its axis has no affect on the orbit of satellites about earth. Only their relative velocities and positions are relevant, not their orientation
How does the moon and the sun effect the earths oceans?
The gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon, effect the earths oceans by forming tides.
What is the effect of earths rotations on the direction of winds and currents?
The Coriolis effect
