It's called the 'Coriolis effect'. In the northern hemisphere, they rotate clockwise. South of the equator, they rotate counter-clockwise.

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).
What makes a rotation a day?
The earth makes a full rotation every 24 hours (a day).
What is influenced by the earths rotation?
Both the water cycle and the seasons. Leaf Ninja Out! Sincerely, IchigoKitsune95
True or False. The rotation curve of your galaxy shows stars beyond the sun moving slower than expected?
False. Stars rotate faster than expected. This makes us assume there is a lot of dark matter.
Crust and earths upper mantle makes up what?
it is the lithosphere
What is the way earth's rotation makes wind curve is called?
The rotation of the earth results in what is known as the Coriolus Effect.
What makes global winds curve?
Coriolis force causes global winds to curve. As winds move north or south, they are deflected due to the rotation of the Earth. They curve to the west.
Why does the earths rotation give us light?
Because of the rotation the earth faces the sun at daytime but when it rotates again it faces away which makes night.
How the Coriolis effect work?
The Coriolis effect is the way Earth's rotation makes the winds curve.
How the earth movements affect climate?
earths axis is little tilted which makes its rotation different at different points of time. this change in rotation and the significant difference of distant between the earth and the sun affects the climate

What is it called when an object makes a full circular rotation?
RevolutionThe Earth revolves around the sun, making a full rotation every calendar year.
What makes the season change?
because of earths tilt (axis)different amounts of sunlight hit different places at different times that's the answer
What effect cause the coriolis?
Currents to bend to the right in the Northern Hemisphere
What makes ormal curve asymmetrical?
There is no such thing as an "ormal curve". And a Normal curve IS symmetrical!
What makes a rotation a day?
The earth makes a full rotation every 24 hours (a day).
What makes a rotation different from a translation?
a rotation turns a translation moves
