The axis is what the Earth rotates around, like the axis on a wheel.

What role does the Sun play in affecting Earths?
To keep us all warm.....
What role does mantle convection play in plate motion?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How does density play a role in the atmosphere?
it doesnt play a role
How do forests help keep earths atmosphere in balance?
They have a major impact on the eco-system . They provide oxygen and shelter for animals and bugs . Without trees we wouldn't be of existance!!!!
How do lithosphere plates move?
Plate movements occur because the layer of Earth directly below the lithosphere, the asthenosphere, is hot enough, and under enough lithostatic pressure to prevent its melting, that it can deform without fracture. Lithospheric plates move via the creation of new oceanic crust and the destruction of old oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges and trenches respectively. The lithosphere is constructed of solid crustal rock and the solid upper mantle which floats on top of the plastic, semi-molten asthenosphere. And although convection of heat does play a role in the movement of lithospheric plates, the convection currents themselves may be caused by gravity, which induces the sinking of older dense slabs of oceanic crust at subduction zones (also called slab pull). The energy driving all of these processes is heat from the interior of the Earth derived from radioactive decay and residual heat from Earth's formation, and gravity which results in slab pull and push.
Does the ocean currents play a major role on earths rotation?
no
What is the relation between torque and speed?
Torque is a force times a distance (the distance from the rotation axis where the force is applied). The angle at which the force is applied can also play a role. It is not directly related to speed.Torque is a force times a distance (the distance from the rotation axis where the force is applied). The angle at which the force is applied can also play a role.

Do we have diff. seasons because of Earth's rotation?
The seasons are different due to a number of factors: The orbital position (Earth's orbit is an ellipse - not a circle), it's rotation (it 'wobbles' on it's axis) and the influence of the moon on the tides all play a part in the changing seasons.
How can you used the word rotation in a sentence?
Just thinking about the speed of the Earth's rotation makes me dizzy. I can play baseball during the next rotation of players.
Is the Earths rotational axis tilted 23.5 degrees to the plane of orbital rotation around the Sun?
Earth is tilted at 23.5 degrees. it is thought to be of an impact by a moon size object billions of years ago. ============================ Another take on the same question: The Earth's axis is not parallel to anything else. The angle of 'tilt' depends on what you're comparing it to. If you compare it to the perpendicular to the plane of Earth's orbit, then the angle is about 23.5 degrees. It doesn't require an explanation, since no planet has an axis that's perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, there's no reason why it should, and the angle of 'tilt' is different for each planet.
