This is caused by Earth's rotation.
It creates our periods of night and day as the Sun's light travels across the Earth's surface.
This is caused by Earth's rotation.
The rotation of the earth is what gives motion to the heavens.
Earth Hour 2009 was carried out across 25 time zones, and involved 4000 cities in 88 countries.
The Coriolis effect is when global winds appear to turn instead of blowing straight across the earth's surface.
Tectonic plates move due to the heat generated from Earth's core and mantle. This heat creates convection currents that cause the plates to move slowly over time. The movement of these plates leads to various geological activities such as earthquakes and mountain formation.
The invisible lines around the earth are called lines of latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude run east-west and measure the distance north and south of the equator, while lines of longitude run north-south and measure the distance east and west of the Prime Meridian. These lines help in locating specific points on Earth's surface.
the movement of the earth around the sun
Radioactive decay of long-lived isotopes in the Earth's deep interior is the source of heat which causes convection currents in the magma which causes tectonic plates to move.
The "ecliptic". In truth, the Sun doesn't move; the apparent motion of the Sun across the sky is caused by the Earth spinning, and the apparent motion of the Sun across the "celestial sphere" is caused by the Earth orbiting the Sun. But the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun is what causes the apparent motion of the Sun across the celestial sphere, so the "ecliptic" is actually the plane of the Earth's orbit.
Glacial movement causes erosion of the Earth's soil (by moving across the ground). It also will leave behind lakes/ponds if it melts.
