What direction does the Earths rotation make the prevailing winds curve?
The Earth's rotation affects all winds, prevailing or otherwise. In the northern hemisphere the Earth's rotation cause wind to curve to the right. It curves winds to the left in the southern hemisphere.
If the Earth's axis was not tilted?
the earth would be weird.
What is the study of formation of earth called?
Geology
Which of the following is a correct sequence of events from oldest to most recent?
Big Bang, formation of galaxies, formation of sun, formation of earth.
How was the earth created scientifically?
The creation of the Earth is one of those mysteries that we can never be sure of. There are currently two prevailing theories - the creationist theory where "God" created the universe and the Earth in a few days. The evolutionist theory is that the Earth formed from the accretion disc left behind after the formation of our sun.
Summary about the formation of earth and the formation of living cells?
Formation of earth
Where does a geothermal get its energy?
Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth's interior. This heat originates from the original formation of the earth, radioactive decay and friction due to the tidal forces acting on the magma.
First dinosaur on earth?
According to the latest scientific studies, the first dinosaurs appeared on the earth about 230 million years ago. Zupaysaurus was one of the original theropods.
Which gas was not believed to be present at the time of Earth's formation?
Oxygen is believed not to be present at the time of Earth's formation.
What is geologic evolution?
Scientific study of the Earth, including its composition, structure, physical properties, and history. Geology is commonly divided into subdisciplines concerned with the chemical makeup of the Earth, including the study of minerals and rocks the structure of the Earth and volcanic phenomena landforms and the processes that produce them and the evolution of planetary bodies and their satellites (astrogeology); and its various branches, such as mining geology and petroleum geology.
Names of the earth's major pressure belts?
Prevailing winds Easterlies
Where are prevailing winds most common?
In the atmosphere which encloses the surface of the Earth.
Why is the science creation story important?
There is no science creation story. There are scientific theories concerning the creation and development of the universe, the formation of the solar system and the earth and the emergence and evolution of life.
Why are water bodies salty?
The planet Earth originally formed with various water soluble compounds present in its crust. The water content of the Earth probably was the result of comet impacts which came after the original formation of the planet. Soluble compounds gradually dissolved out of their original rock formations, into the water.
What is the fission theory?
The fission theory is a scientific explanation for the formation of the Moon. It suggests that the Moon was once part of the Earth and broke off due to a massive impact with another celestial body, leading to its formation. This theory is supported by evidence such as the similarities in composition between the Earth and Moon.
Has Earth always had the same composition?
The theories of planetary formation indicate that Earth's original form had more hydrogen and helium and less of the current atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen. Water may have been added by comets that Earth swept from its solar orbit.
How are local and prevailing winds similar?
local and prevailing winds are similar because they both flow in the same direction?
