Most rain forests are on or near the equator as these areas receive a lot of rain. Deserts are concentrated just north or south of the tropics which are zones of sinking air with little rainfall.

How does fishing effect earth's other sphere's?

Your question, minus those fancy shmancy apostrophes; How does fishing effect earth is other sphere is. That doesn't make sense does it? But for real....what? Well you see, all of the fish in the world are actually the earths workhorses for the rotation of all the spheres in the world(?) and at night they have to swim in circles around magnets in the earths crust to make the spheres move. So when you kill a fish you're making the world move a little slower and we are all going to freeze to death if the world stops. So always throw your fish back after you catch them.


The apparent motion of the sun in the sky is caused?

Stars move very fast through space (millions of miles per hour), but because of our distance from them, they appear to move very slowly if at all. The stars we see move the most are the Sun and moon and the other 7 planets of the Solar System. The Sun and stars moves across the sky because the Earth revolves upon its axis, which causes us to see days and nights. The movement of the moon is due to its orbiting the earth and the constant spinning of the Earth. Because the Earth spins, the moon rises approximately 40 minutes later each day. The movement of the planets is caused by their orbit of the Sun and also the Earths. As we go around the sun, our vantage point changes, so objects in the sky appear to move more than they actually do.
