How does earths rotation affects the patterns of surface currents?
It causes the currents to move in curved paths instead of going in a straight line, which is known a the Coriolis effect.
The earth's rotation influences currents by a force known as what?
Coriolis effect
The earths rotation in an apparent turning of the wind known as?
Thhe coriolis effect.

The spinning of the Earth on its axis is called?
RotationThe spinning of the Earth on its axis is known as 'the Earths rotation'Rotation.Rotating.rotation (as opposed to orbiting, which describes the earth's movements around the sun)
How many types of earth rotation?
It is anticlockwise when viewed from the north. This applies to both its daily rotation and its revolution around the Sun. The angular momentum vector in both cases points to the north.
Earths lithosphere is broken into huge moving slabs of rock driven by motions in the mantle?
The motion in the mantle is known as convection currents which helps move earth's slabs, known as plates. Convection occurs in the upper mantle known as the asthenosphere.
Why is the moons rotation period longer then Earths?
An asteroid/meteor impact is one theory. The truth is that nobody knows for sure, just like the exact origin of the moon is not known for certain.
What are rotation and revolution?
If earth surrounds itself it is known as rotation if earth surrounds the sun then it is known as revolution
What is the sum of currents is known as?
Total current.
What effects do deeps currents have?
Deep ocean currents have enormous effect on climatic conditions. Deep ocean currents are also known as conveyor belt for temperature. There are two types of water currents, cold and warm. The warm water currents are less dense than cold water currents.
Found on mountains and known for its huge back-curving horns what sort of animal is an ibex also called a steinbock?
mountain goat
