What else can I help you with?
When winds curve because of the earth's rotation it is called?
Coriolis Force
What term describes changes in air motion resulting from earth's rotation?
Coriolis effect
The foucault pendulum provides evidence of earth?
It provides evidence of the Earth's rotation on its axis.
How does rotation of the earth affect atmospheric pressure?
The rotation of the earth is the reason for gravity. The gravitaional force pulls all matter towards the center of the earth, including gases such as oxygen or carbon dioxide in the air. This causes all matter to congregate near the ground. Because all the matter is near the ground, at higher altitudes there is less matter and therefore the air is less dense. The rotation of the earth is NOT the reason for gravity. In fact, as far as we know, there is no "reason" for gravity. The rotation of the earth affects atmospheric pressure in very complex, indirect ways. The rotation of the earth creates the Coriolis effect. It also moves the atmosphere across the region of direct solar influence. Whoever wrote the original answer (above) is an idiot.
Would gravity exist even if the earth stopped rotating?
Yes, indeed it would. Gravity is not caused by the rotation of the Earth. In fact, there would be a very small increase in the "apparent gravity" at the Earth's surface because of the lack of a "centrifugal" effect.
What do we call the effects of the earth's rotation on air circulation?
The effect of the Earth's rotation on air circulation is called the Coriolis Effect.
What causes the coriolis?
The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the earth.
What causes the coriolls effect?
Earth's rotation.
Does moon have effect on Earth's rotation?
yes; without the moon earth's rotation would be wobbly and disorganized.
The effect of the Earth's rotation on convection currents is called the?
c effect
What is the effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents.?
Coriolis effect
How does earth's varying orbital speed affect it's rotation?
The earth's orbital speed has no influence or effect on its rotation.
When ice cube in the poles of earth melt does it effect the rotation of earth?
no
Is the Coriolis effect caused by earth rotation?
YES
What effect of earth rotation on the direction of wind and current is called?
Coriolis effect
What is one effect of Earth's rotation?
Some of the effects of Earth's rotation are:* Sunrise and sunset * Similarly, the Moon and the stars also rise and set * The Coriolis effect * The movement of the Focault pendulum
A Foucault pendulum provides evidence of Earth's?
rotation. The swinging motion of the pendulum appears to change over time due to the rotation of the Earth beneath it, demonstrating the Earth's rotation in relation to the pendulum. This phenomenon is known as the Coriolis effect.
