What else can I help you with?
If an object left Earth which direction will it travel due to inertia and Earths rotation?
That depends, in what direction it is moving initially, and at what speed. Inertia is the tendency to MAINTAIN a velocity.
The is caused by the earths rotation?
Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past. This is due to the tidal effects the Moon has on Earth's rotation.
What causes the coriolios effect?
The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth. As the Earth rotates, objects traveling on its surface appear to be deflected due to the difference in speed of rotation at different latitudes. This effect is strongest at the poles and decreases towards the equator.
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.
What is the effect that causes objects to move in a curved direction due to to earths rotation?
It's called Coriolis force.
What The effects that causes objects to a move in a curved direction due to earths rotation?
It's called Coriolis force.
Why are the paths of the surface planetary winds curved due to earths?
It is due to the earth's rotation. (source: January 2005 earth science regents exam)
Is the speed of earth's rotation slowing?
Yes. The energy from the tides ultimately comes from Earth's rotation; due to friction during the tides, Earth's rotation will logically get slower and slower.
What is the apparent movement of the sun from east to west?
The apparent movement of the sun from east to west is due to the Earth's rotation on its axis from west to east. This rotation creates the illusion that the sun is moving across the sky each day.
Is the thickness of earth atmosphere the same in polar regions as equatorial regions?
Yes, the thickness varies from te equatoral to the polar regions due to the Earth's rotation. The atmosphere is thicker at the equator than the poles. this is due to the earths rotation and centripital force.
Where does earth's greatest speed of rotation occur?
The Earth's greatest speed of rotation occurs at the equator, where it moves at a speed of about 1670 kilometers per hour (1037 miles per hour) due to the larger circumference at the equator compared to the poles.
What Causes weather to be turned westward form original path due to earths rotation?
corolis effect...or..coriolis effect...something with those letters...
