What is the apparent force created by the earths rotation?
Coriolis force describes an apparent force that is due to the rotation of the earth. (From my meteorolgy textbook)
What The effects that causes objects to a move in a curved direction due to earths rotation?
It's called Coriolis force.
Does the earths rotation speed up from the moon?
No. Just the opposite. The earth's rotation is slowing down because of the gravitational force between the earth and the moon. The day is getting longer by something like a millisecond (0.001 second) every hundred years.
What aspect of the earths shape is evidence of its rotation?
The diameter at the equator is larger, by about 1/300, than the diameter from pole to pole. This can be considered a result of the so-called centrifugal force (a ficticious force, but it makes many explanations simpler).
Is mafic rocks in the mantle earths magntic field?
No. The Earth's magnetic field consists of invisible lines of force, not rock. The mangetic fiild itself is driven by currents in the outer core, which is made of molten iron and nickel.
What are Causes or driving forces that affect currents in the ocean?
The main driving force is wind, but it is also affected by the earths rotation, solar energies, and gravity.
What is the name given to the force of the earths rotation?
Centrifugal force.
What is the apparent force created by the earths rotation?
Coriolis force describes an apparent force that is due to the rotation of the earth. (From my meteorolgy textbook)
What influences the magnitude of the Coriolis force?
The earth's rotation rate, and the latitude at which the force is experienced.
How does the force of gravity affect the direction of motion of the planets?
earths rotation around the sun
What is one result of convection currents in earths outer core?
ErosionEarth's magnetic fieldmelted glaciersEarth's force of gravity
What is a constructive force caused by the convection currents in the earths mantle?
a constructive force is a natural event that helps the earth like wheathering
What The effects that causes objects to a move in a curved direction due to earths rotation?
It's called Coriolis force.
What is the effect that causes objects to move in curved direction due to the earths rotation?
Easy it's the coriolis force
What is the effect that causes object to move in a curved direction due to the earths rotation?
It's called Coriolis force.
What is the effect that causes objects to move in a curved direction due to to earths rotation?
It's called Coriolis force.
How does rotation affect the value of gravity at the earth surface?
The (centripital) force due to rotation is at its greatest at the equator, if you weigh 100 kg, the force of gravity on you = approx. 982 n anywhere on earths surface, the centripetal force at the equator = 3.4 n
