When observing from high to the north, the earth rotates anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise), or toward the east. That's why the sun rises in the east. The earth's orbit or revolution is also anti-clockwise.

Why are the paths of the surface planetary winds curved due to earths?
It is due to the earth's rotation. (source: January 2005 earth science regents exam)
The spinning of the Earth on its axis is called?
RotationThe spinning of the Earth on its axis is known as 'the Earths rotation'Rotation.Rotating.rotation (as opposed to orbiting, which describes the earth's movements around the sun)
In what general direction does warm air flow in the northern hemisphere?
West to east due to rotation - north due to temperature.
Which of newton's laws of motion explains why when air rushes out of a balloon the balloon moves in the opposite direction?
This is Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is a rotation in science terms?
The earths movement around the sun is called as revolution and the earth's motion within itself in its orbit is called as rotation. when the earth rotates its spinning in circles -around and around- and when it revolves its moving around the sun so rotation is when something spins in circles
Wind direction is determined by the Earths rotation?
True
What changes the direction of airflow and is caused by earths rotation?
The coriolis effect
What is the shift in the wind direction that causes the earths rotation?
Coriolis effect
What is the effect of earths rotation on the direction of winds and currents called?
The Coriolis effect
What is the effect of earths rotation of the direction of winds and currents called?
The Coriolis effect
What direction does the International Space Station travel?
counter to the earth's rotation Exactly wrong..........it travels WITH the Earths rotation.....eastwards
How does the force of gravity affect the direction of motion of the planets?
earths rotation around the sun
What is the effects of earths rotation on the direction of the wind and currents?
It's called the 'coriolis' effect.
The apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the earths rotation is called the?
Coriolis effect
What effects of the earths rotation on the direction of winds and currents is called what?
It's called the 'coriolis' effect.
What is the effect that causes objects to move in a curved direction due to to earths rotation?
It's called Coriolis force.
What is the effect that causes object to move in a curved direction due to the earths rotation?
It's called Coriolis force.
