What else can I help you with?
What action causes day and night the earth orbits the sun or Earth rotates on its axis?
The earth rotates on its axis.
Bottom of the earth is called?
axis
What are the points where the Earth's axis passes through the Earth's surface?
They are the poles.
How does the earth sit on its axis?
The Earth has an axis because it needs to spin. This axis is not actually a physical axis but a point of reference for the spinning.
What is the earths slant called?
Earth is tilted from it axis
Did the earthquake in Chile cause the earth axis to be tilted?
What? No...the earths axis has been tilted for hundreds of millions if not billions of years. If your question is: Did the earthquake in Chile cause a variation in the tilt of the earth's axis? Then the answer is yes, very slightly, but noticeable.
How many degrees was the Earth's Axis tilted during the Haiti Earthquake?
The Earth's axis was not tilted during the Haiti Earthquake. The earthquake occurred due to the movement of tectonic plates along a fault line beneath the Earth's surface, causing the ground to shake. This movement did not affect the tilt of the Earth's axis.
How did the Chile earthquake tipped the earth?
The Chile earthquake, powerful as it was, was not nearly powerful enough to tilt the earth. If you imagine a large bell in a cathedral and you hit that bell with a spoon, that is about the effect that an earthquake has on the earth as a whole. It caused some MAJOR destruction and caused Chile to pay millions for the damage, and many people were killed or injured.
Did Chile earthquake shift Earth's tilt?
Yes, the 2010 Chile earthquake was powerful enough to cause a slight shift in the Earth's axis, estimated to be around 3 inches (8 cm). This shift affected the Earth's rotation speed and slightly changed its shape.
How did Chile's days shorten by the earthquake?
The rotation that rotates the earth is called wobble. It's all science did you got to school? That's not too specific. Among the many interesting and horrifying facts about the 8.8 magnitude quake that struck Chile is this; scientists say that because of the Chile earthquake, Earth's axis shifted and the day shortened. Not by much on either count, but just the fact that an earthquake was so powerful to do either is astonishing. Nature truly has power that we cannot fathom. Many scientists agree including a NASA scientist that the Chile earthquake that measured a massive 8.8 likely shifted the Earth on its axis and shortened the day by about 1.26 microseconds. The Earth's axis likely moved about 3 inches. No one would be able to detect these movements on their own, but they likely happened nonetheless.
What is the definition of millesecond?
A millisecond is another kind of second. For every second there are 100 milliseconds. Example: Chile's 8.8 earthquake caused the earth's axis to move a millisecond.
If the axis of the earth was moved by 3 inches what would happen?
A shift of the Earth's axis by 3 inches would not have any noticeable effects on daily life or the Earth's overall climate. However, it could potentially affect navigation systems that rely on precise measurements of the Earth's axis.
Did the equator shift as a result of the Japan earthquake?
The Earth's AXIS changed 10cm after the tragic earthquake
How many scientists believe that the Chilean earthquake shifted the earth's axis?
It is not a matter of belief. It has been scientifically measured that the Chilean earthquake caused the Earth's axis to shift approximately two inches.
Did the Chilean Earthquake knock the Earth off it's axis?
No, the Chilean Earthquake did not knock the Earth off its axis. Earthquakes can cause localized changes in the Earth's rotation, but they do not have the capability to shift the entire axis of the Earth.
What effects does an earthquake have on your earth?
It can change the Axis of the Earth, effect emotions of people world wide.
Did Japan earthquake affect ace of the earth?
If you mean the Axis of the Earth, yes it did. By 6 degrees.
