The North Star is near the sky's north pole - less than a degree from it. As a reflection of the Earth's rotation, the entire sky seems to rotate around us, once every 23h56m. The center of this rotation is the prolongation of the Earth's axis. Thus, the sky also has a "north pole", and a "south pole".

What causes currents to move in curved paths instead of straight lines?

Earth's rotation causes the water to move in a curve; this is a manifestation of The Coriolis force.


Would Planets travel in a straight line if it weren't for the force of the Sun's gravity?

Sort of, don't forget that there are lots of other stars to bend their paths. AND - according to general relativity their orbits are straight lines in a curved space.


Why do p wave and s waves follow curved paths?

Why do wind currents move in curved paths?

Because of the Coriolis Effect


What are perpedicular lines?

Perpendicular Lines are two or more lines that will intersect (come together) at some point along their paths. Paralell lines are 2 or more lines that will never intersect at any point in their paths.


How are perpendicular lines similar and different to intersecting lines?

Perpendicular lines are specific kinds of intersecting lines. They both cross paths. Intersecting lines can cross paths in any way, but perpendicular lines have to cross at right angles.

What is a mathematical procedure used in vector graphics to describe curved paths called?

depending on the grade of the formula they can be called lines - 1st degree -, hyperbole - 2nd degree -, ... generally speaking all of them are called splines.


How are perpendicular line similar to intersecting?

They both cross paths. Intersecting lines can cross paths in any ways, but perpendicular lines have to cross at 90 degrees.
