west to east
In the Southern Hemisphere, ocean currents generally flow clockwise due to the Coriolis effect, which is the deflection of moving objects caused by the Earth's rotation. This means that surface currents move in a clockwise direction around high pressure systems and in an anti-clockwise direction around low pressure systems.
S. Always capitalize the abbreviation of a direction.
True north is the direction that points towards the geographic North Pole, which is the northernmost point on Earth. It is the direction used in cartography and navigation to indicate the Earth's axis of rotation.
A compass works by aligning itself with Earth's magnetic field. The needle inside the compass is magnetized and points towards the magnetic north pole. By following the direction the needle points, you can determine which way is north.
The Coriolis effect holds that because the Earth is spinning, surfacewaters move in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and in acounterclockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Earth's rotation axis is always oriented in a north-south direction.
yes it rotates on an axis and 'always' in the same direction.
A compass.A compass.A compass.A compass.
Yes it does no matter what.
Yes, a right turn at a two-way intersection always has to end in the keyword "right" to indicate the direction of the turn.
The Kaaba in Mecca is the direction of the Islamic prayer, known as the qibla. As the earth is a sphere, any point across the globe is in some direct line with the Kaaba though it may not always be a straight line due to the curvature of the earth. Using qibla compasses or online tools can help determine the direction of the qibla from any location.
Yes, the moon orbits the Earth in the same direction that the Earth rotates, from west to east. This is why we always see the same side of the moon from Earth, a phenomenon known as tidal locking.
The Moon has no east-west direction with respect to Earth. East-west describes the direction of, or opposite direction of a sphere that is rotating. (Like Earth.) As it turns out, the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth. The phases of the Moon, like full Moon, result from which direction the SUN is from the Moon and Earth.
A freely suspended magnet will always point in the same direction because it aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field. This causes one end of the magnet to point towards the Earth's magnetic north pole and the other end to point towards the South pole.
The moon accelerates because it is always changing direction. :)
The earth moves towards the east-this means it turn counter clockwise in relation to the sun.
Yes. They accelerate (change the direction of their movement) towards Earth, and this may be labelled as "falling".Yes.
