The Earth's rotation affects temperature differences primarily through the distribution of sunlight across its surface. As the Earth spins on its axis, different regions experience varying angles and durations of sunlight throughout the day. This axial tilt and the rotation lead to a warmer equatorial region, where sunlight is more direct, and cooler polar regions, where sunlight is more diffuse. Additionally, the rotation creates day and night cycles, further influencing local temperatures.

What does the earths rotation do?

The Earth's rotation greatly enhances the even distribution of heat from insolation, and is the cause of the 24-hour night and day cycle of illumination over most of the Earth.


What creates currents in the atmosphere and the hydrosphere?

In the atmosphere, currents are created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which leads to differences in air pressure and temperature. These differences cause air to move in response, creating winds. In the hydrosphere, currents are primarily driven by winds, the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect), and variations in water temperature and salinity.
