Where does the earths axis of rotation intersect with the earths surface?
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
When the north end of earths rotation axis is pointing toward the sun what statement is true?
It is June.
Earths rotation is described as?
The earth's rotation is described as a counter-clockwise movement which passes through the north and south poles. This is what will result to day and night.
Where on the earth do you stand to be in the center of the earth's rotation?
Stand at the South Pole, and look down at the ground beneath your feet.
What appears to revolve around Polaris due to earth's rotation?
Due to the vast distance between the earth and polaris, the earths axis of rotation essentially lines up with polaris at all times, so when the stars are visible, and viewed from the north pole, the earths rotation causes the stars to appear to rotate around polaris.
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.
When the north end of the earths rotation axis is pointing at the sun what happens?
The northern part of the Earth warms up. It is the Northern Summer.
What would the speed of the earths rotation be if it was on the north or south pole?
If you are at exactly the north or south pole the measurement is in Revolutions per Day And that speed is 1 Revolution Per Day.
When observed from a location in new york state for an entire night the north star appears to?
When observed it moves southwards along an arc shaped path because of earths rotation
What is earths movement?
The earth moves in a circular fashion, which is a left to right movement. It also moves on its axis, which helps keep it rotation and gravity pull well balanced. Just one slight move of the axis and the earth will go hurling in space.
Where is the earths land mass south or north of the equator?
north
What determined the direction of storm movement?
ok. it is not only the jet stream, but the earths rotation, wind, heat currents, and believe it or not, ocean temps. Warm air rises at the equator, moves north(northern hemisphere) and sinks as it cools. This type of convection current continues to the poles. Therefore creating the jet stream and the earths rotation makes our weather work. The ocean temps. determine how much humidity can be released into the air. Also check the weather channel site and ask them also.
