What direction does the Earth rotate?
The Earth rotates in an anticlockwise (counterclockwise) direction when viewed from above the north pole.The Earth rotates counterclockwise (anticlockwise) if looked 'down' from above, from over the north pole.Every point on Earth rotates from west to east (except the poles,since there's no east or west at them).
Is the earth's rotation prograde or retrograde?
It is prograde. That's counterclockwise, viewed from above the North Pole.
Effects of slow earth movements?
An effect of the earth movements becoming slow is that the rotation of the earth will increase. The slow movement has also made the mountains rise and creating more earthquakes.
which way does the erath spin?
Earth rotates eastward, in prograde motion. As viewed from the north pole star Polaris, Earth turns counterclockwise.
Why does mercury revolve so quickly around the sun?
Ike earth east to west (western)
What do you call the counterclockwise movement of the earth?
earth's rotation
Movements of earth?
the rotation and revolution of earth is called movements of the earth
What are the directions of the orbits of the moon and earth?
Viewed from a vantage point above the north poles of both the Sun and the Earth, the Earth orbits in a counterclockwise direction about the Sun. Similarly the Moon orbits the Earth in a counterclockwise direction. From the same vantage point, the Earth, Moon and Sun also rotate on their axes of spin in a counterclockwise direction.
Which way earth turns?
It turns counterclockwise.
Which direction is earth revolving around the sun?
CounterClockwise
What loandform results from divergenece of contintel crust?
rift valleys develop as a result of the diverging forces* of the earth. *Forces mean movements - 1. slow earth movements 2. Rapid earth movements Rift valleys develop as a result of slow earth movements.
What is the direction of the earth's revolution?
Towards the East, therefore, Counterclockwise.
Why do we see difference in appearance and movements of the Sun and Moon from Earth?
Why do we see differences in the appearance and movements of the Sun and Moon from Earth
Why do we see differences in the appearance and movements of the Sun and Moon from Earth?
Why do we see differences in the appearance and movements of the Sun and Moon from Earth
What do you call the movements of the earth?
Tectonics.
Which direction does the Earth rotate around the Sun?
The Earth rotates counterclockwise when you look down its axis of rotation from the North Pole. As the Earth revolves around the Sun, it turns counterclockwise when you look down the its axis of rotation from the north. The Sun rotates with its equator inclined only 7.25 degrees to the Earth's orbit, and most of the other planets' equators are tipped less than 30 degrees. Apparently, the preferred direction of motion in the Solar System is counterclockwise as seen from the north. All the planets revolve counterclockwise around the Sun, and, with the exception of Venus and Uranus, they rotate counterclockwise on their axes.
