Yes, the Earth's rotation has caused a slight bulging of the planet, near the equator.
The diameter of the Earth at the equator is a bit more than the distance between the Poles.
The gravitational pull of the moon causes tides on Earth. This pull creates a bulging effect in the ocean waters, leading to high and low tides as the Earth rotates.
That's because Mars has an axial tilt which is almost the same as the Earth's. A planet's axial tilt is the most important factor in determining the seasons.
Earth's predictable motion, specifically its rotation and orbit around the sun, causes the moon to exhibit regular phases and tides. The gravitational interaction between Earth and the moon is also influenced by Earth's predictable motion, leading to tidal forces that affect the moon's orbit and rotation.
The Coriolis effect causes winds in the Northern Hemisphere to curve to the right. This effect is due to the rotation of the Earth and causes moving air to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
No. A circle is 2-dimensional. The Earth is a sphere. no actualy, it is a sphere, but a long time ago, historians thought that the world was a flat circle
Earth's magnetic field has no effect on its axial tilt.
the Coriolis effect
No, underground nuclear tests cannot alter the Earth's axial tilt. The axial tilt of Earth is determined by gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies and is not influenced by nuclear tests.
Earth's motion is already controlled by it's own, the sun's and the moon's gravity. Event's on earth also effect it's motion including earth quakes and other geological events. If you are asking whether humans could effect the motion of the earth, the question is, yes, with enough energy, we could control is dramatically. Mathematically, even the smallest things we do, like driving our cars, have some, however tiny, effect on the earth's motion. It is unlikely, however, that we would ever be able to control the earth's movements entirely nor would we really want to.
No, the Earth's axial tilt remains relatively constant. However, the Earth's axis does undergo a slow wobbling motion known as precession, which takes about 26,000 years to complete a full cycle.
because it has an axial tilt
The gravitational pull of the moon causes tides on Earth. This pull creates a bulging effect in the ocean waters, leading to high and low tides as the Earth rotates.
A season is the result of how direct sunlight is received over a part of the earth. Because of the earth's axial tilt (it does not spin perpendicularly to its orbit around the sun), the hemisphere receiving the most direct sunlight alternates between the northern and southern hemispheres. If the earth had zero axial tilt, the directness of sunlight would not vary throughout the year aside from orbital perihelion/aphelion (which has a much smaller effect than the axial tilt).
The characteristic of the Earth that causes the Coriolis effect is the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, objects in motion are deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect.
Coriolis effect
Earth is approximately an oblate spheroid, meaning it is mostly spherical but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator. It is not a perfect sphere due to its rotation causing a bulging effect at the equator.
The moon has three main motions: rotation on its axis, revolution around the Earth, and axial tilt. Rotation on its axis gives us different views of the moon's surface, while revolution around the Earth causes its phases. Axial tilt influences the moon's position relative to the Earth and the sun, affecting tides.
