Is the Earth rotating on an axis?
yes it does!!! Actually the rotational axis of the earth is inclined 23.15' from the vertical to the ecliptic. It is this inclination that produces the seasons on earth so the deviation is not trivial.
Why earth experiences seasons?
Seasonal changes on earth are the result of the fact that the earth's axis of rotation is not perpendicular to the plane in which it moves about the sun. The "tilt" of the earth will cause one hemisphere to be more directly exposed to the sun during a portion of earth's yearly orbit than the other hemisphere. On the opposite side of earth's orbit, the other hemisphere will be more directly exposed to solar rays than the first hemisphere. We know times of more direct sunlight on our hemisphere as summer. At times when the other hemisphere than the one in which we live in is getting the more direct sunlight, we experience what we call winter. Summer has generally warmer and longer days, while winter has colder and shorter days. All of this relates to the tilt of earth's axis of rotation as regards the plane of its orbit around the sun.
Why don't we feel the ground moving as the plates of the lithosphere move around?
The earth moves too slowly most of the time for people to feel it. When it moves quickly, we call that an earthquake.
Which layer of the earth has the greatest pressure?
The lowest level, the troposphere near the Earth's surface, has the highest pressure.
What do you call the turning of the earth?
Rotation, on its own axis. ...Coriolis
What do we call the movement of an object around itself such as the movement of the earth around its own axis?
The movement of an object around its own axis is called rotation. On Earth, this rotation takes about 24 hours to complete one full rotation.
What do you call the imaginary line that the earth spins on?
The imaginary line that the Earth spins on is called the axis.
What do you call the counterclockwise movement of the earth?
earth's rotation
What do you call the imaginary line on wich the Earth rotates?
Its axis
What do you call the point at which the globe rotates?
A globe, such as the earth, rotates about its axis.
Motion that is present in circular or curved pathways is call what?
Motion that is present in circular or curved pathways is called rotational motion. It refers to the movement around an axis or center point, as opposed to linear motion which occurs in a straight line. Rotation is characterized by an object turning or spinning on its axis.
What do you call the movement of the earth around sun?
revolution
What do you call the movement of the earth around the sun?
revolution
What do you call the movement from the side on a shaft?
The movement from the side on a shaft is called lateral movement or radial movement. This type of movement involves motion across the axis of the shaft, rather than along its length.
How does earth's motion relate to the length of a day?
the earth spins once on its axis during the time we call a day
What do you call the slow movement of earths axis with a period of 26000 years?
Procession of the Equinox
