What else can I help you with?
What would be the effect on seasons if the Earth had no tilt?
There would be no seasons. This is because seasons are created by earths tilt.
What is the true relationship between oceans and earths climate?
The oceans have a major effect on climate around the globe.
How changes in earths tilt would affect seasonal patterns?
If there were no tilt then there'd be no seasons. So it has a direct effect.
Why are the seasons reversed in North and South America?
Because of where each continent is located. North America is north of the Equator, where air patterns (weather) travel from west to east. South America is south of the Equator, where air patterns travel from east to west. This is also due to the force of gravity on Earth. North of the Equator the Coriolis effect is from west to east, while south of the Equator it is reversed.
Why didnt Felix float when he jumped from space?
Because technically he wasn't in space. He was on the edge of Earths atmosphere. so gravity was still in effect.
What effect does the earths tilt have on the equator?
No effect at all. However the plane of the equator will be tilted to the same amount as the Earth as compared to the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun. This plane is called "the ecliptic".
What effect does solar radiation have on climate when comparing the equator to polar-region?
Equator has a lower angular deflection of sunlight and therefore warmer temperatures
What effect does solar radiation have on climate when comparing the equator to polar regions?
Solar radiation has a greater impact on climate at the equator compared to polar regions. This is because the equator receives more direct sunlight throughout the year, leading to warmer temperatures. In contrast, at polar regions, sunlight is spread out over a larger area, resulting in cooler temperatures.
What causes two distinct pressure zones between equator and the poles?
The Earth's rotation turns the polar high pressure systems westward as they move from the poles (westerlies), and the subtropical high pressure systems eastward as they move toward the equator (tropical easterlies).
What is the earths diameter in km?
The diameter of the earth at the equator is 12,756 kilometers. The earth slightly bulges at the equator slightly elongating the distance.
Are tides less the closer to the Equator?
Tides are generally lower near the Equator compared to regions farther from it due to the centrifugal force resulting from the Earth's rotation. This effect causes water to bulge at the equator, meaning tides are less extreme in these areas.
What is it called when the paths of winds and ocean currents seem to curve because of the earths rotation?
It's called the 'Coriolis effect'. In the northern hemisphere, they rotate clockwise. South of the equator, they rotate counter-clockwise.
What causes two distinct pressure zone between the equator andthe poles?
The equators warm air, and the polar cold air.
What would be the effect on the Earth if the axis were not tilted?
There would be no four seasons if the earths axis was not titled.
Why are cyclones formed on the equator?
Cyclones do not typically form on the equator because the Coriolis force is weakest at the equator, making it harder for cyclonic circulation to develop. However, cyclones can form near the equator in special circumstances when other factors, such as high sea surface temperatures and a pre-existing disturbance, are present.
Why is the Coriolis effect zero at the equator?
The Coriolis effect is zero at the equator because the rotation of the Earth is perpendicular to the direction of motion at the equator, resulting in no deflection of moving objects.
What is the effect of earths rotation on gravity?
Earth's rotation causes a centrifugal force that slightly counteracts gravity at the equator, making objects slightly lighter there compared to the poles. This effect is very small, however, and does not significantly impact our daily lives or activities.
