What type of pendulum is used to demonstrate the earth's rotation?
Foucault's Pendulum
What is used to mesure the size of an earthquake?
Scientists measure the magnitude (energy) of an earthquake using a seismograph (sort of sensitive pendulum that records the shaking of the earth).
Which layer of the earth do think shows the most evidence of an earthquake?
The lithosphere.
How are seismic waves used to provide evidence about earth's sructure?
vibrations
What contributes the lack of evidence of the period of heavy bombardment on earth?
Earths valcanoes
A Foucault pendulum provides evidence of Earth's?
it provides evidence of the EARTH's rotation.
Foucault pendulum is a famous demonstration of Earth's?
A Foucault pendulum is a famous demonstration of Earth's:
What did Foucault's pendulum provide in the 19th century?
evidence that supports the conjecture that the Earth is rotating
What keeps a foucault pendulum moving?
The rotation of the earth keeps a foucault pendulum moving
What did foucault's pendulum provide in th 19th century?
evidence that supports the conjecture that the Earth is rotating
Is the shifting of orientation of a Foucault pendulum an evidence that the earth is rotating?
Yes, perhaps one of the simplest and best evidences.
How does the Foucault pendulum work?
The Foucault Pendulum experiment proves that the Earth rotates beneath the pendulum, which proved that the Earth rotates. If one were to make a pendulum on the equator it would not work because it doesnt rotate at that point of the Earth.
Which observation provides the best evidence that earth revloves around the sun?
The heliocentric model provides evidence that the earth moves around the sun. This theory was discovered back in ancient Egyptian times.
What type of pendulum is used to demonstrate the earth's rotation?
Foucault's Pendulum
How does the Foucault pendulum prove the earth rotates?
* it holds hanging objects that pivots around fixed points
What did Foucault's pendoleum demostrate?
Foucault's pendulum demonstrated the rotation of the Earth. As the pendulum swings, it gradually changes direction due to the Earth's rotation, providing visual evidence of the planet's movement. This experiment helped to confirm the Earth's rotation and sparked interest in exploring its effects on different physical phenomena.
Who is the French Physicist who constructed a pendulum that helped to prove the earth rotates?
Jean Foucault
