What are the earths 2 hemispheres?
The Earth is divided into two hemispheres: Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. The equator serves as the dividing line between the two, with the Northern Hemisphere located above the equator and the Southern Hemisphere located below it.
Which continent has land in each of the earths hemispheres?
Africa has.
What do you call the regular movement of the earths water?
the water cycle
What continent makes up most of earths land?
Asia
What are earths two main motions called?
Rotation and Revolution.
What earths two main motions called?
Rotation and Revolution.
What are earths 2 principal motions?
Earth revolves around the sun and rotates on its axis.
What are Earths 2 motions?
There are two principle motions of the Earth. The earth rotates around on its axis. The earth is also known to revolve around the sun.
How are plates motions connected with motions within the rest of the earths mantle?
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
How do motions affect Earth's crust?
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.
Which two motions does earth in space?
The two motions that Earth makes are rotations and revolutions.
What are the 2 motions of earth?
The two motions of Earth are ;- Daily (24 hours) axial rotation. Annual (1 year) orbital (revolution) about the Sun. NB There are several other known movements of the Earth. they are ;- The angle of the Earth's axis varies between 28 degrees to 21 degrees. Currently at 23 degrees. The Earth's orbit about the Sun is an ellipsoid, that is an ellips that doesn't quite close up with each orbit, but slightly overlaps. This elliptical movement varies between nearly circular to a narrow ellipse. The Earth speeds up an slows down through space, because the Sun lies at one of the foci of the ellipse , NOT the centre. As a consequence, when nearer the Sun we moive faster, and when further away we move slower. Because of the Moon , the Earth 'wobbles' in and out of its orbital track. Summing , we can say that the Earth 'dances' through space, with the Sun and Moon as partners.
Lines of magnetic force generated by the fluid motions of earths core result in the formation?
North and South poles
How was the problem of overcoming earths gravity solved?
The Bernoulli principal (the airfoil of wings).
Is motions one syllable?
No, it is two.
What two motions does the have?
revolution and rotation
