What else can I help you with?
Can an earthquake be caused by temperature?
Not by temperature variations at Earth's surface, no. However, temperature variations in Earth's mantle play a role in plate tectonics, and so can affect earthquake activity.
What is the name for the periods of time where the Earth has been much colder?
The periods of time where the temperature of the Earth has been much colder then traditional times are referred to as ice ages. It is a long term reduction in the temperature of the Earth resulting in the expansion of the polar ice caps.
How does the angle of the sun hitting the earth affect the temperature of the earth?
Sunlight is at its strongest when it is at a perpendicular angle; at oblique angles it is weaker.
What if it took 72 hours for the earth to spin?
The temperature extremes reached during the day and night would unbearable if the Earth took 72 hours to spin on its axis. The daytime temperature would exceed the boiling point of water. During the night most areas would drop below freezing. The longer periods of sunlight and darkness would allow these temperature variations. The only life that might be able to survive is sea life at a depth where the temperature variations are less drastic.
Volcanic dust and ash can remain in the atmosphere for months or years causing?
Volcanic dust and ash in the atmosphere can cause reduced visibility, air travel disruptions, and potential health hazards. They can also contribute to cooling of the Earth's surface by reflecting sunlight, leading to temporary climate effects.
How does location on earth affect temperature?
The equater.
How would a drastic reduction in plant life on earth affect the atmosphere?
A drastic reduction in plant life on Earth would result in less oxygen being produced through photosynthesis, which could lead to lower oxygen levels in the atmosphere. Additionally, the removal of plants would reduce the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, potentially exacerbating the greenhouse effect and contributing to climate change. Overall, the decrease in plant life could disrupt the balance of gases in the atmosphere and have far-reaching consequences on global climate patterns.
Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?
Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.
Can an earthquake be caused by temperature?
Not by temperature variations at Earth's surface, no. However, temperature variations in Earth's mantle play a role in plate tectonics, and so can affect earthquake activity.
How did gravitational contraction affect earth?
Gravitational contraction raised the temperature of Earth early in it's formation.
What is the name for the periods of time where the Earth has been much colder?
The periods of time where the temperature of the Earth has been much colder then traditional times are referred to as ice ages. It is a long term reduction in the temperature of the Earth resulting in the expansion of the polar ice caps.
How does earth rotation and sun position affect heat and temperature on the earth?
I am not an a*****e like you al who have answered these questions
What is the winter solstice and how does it affect earth's temperature in the northern hemisphere?
It is when the day is the shortest in the year. It really shouldn't affect temperature(except it might be cold be cause it is winter!)
How does the air temperature affect the earth?
it dose not. but what dose is the atmosphere, & how close it is 2 the sun.
How does the angle of the sun hitting the earth affect the temperature of the earth?
Sunlight is at its strongest when it is at a perpendicular angle; at oblique angles it is weaker.

Why is Earth windy?
The rotation of the Earth has some affect. The difference in temperature is the main cause, with cold and warm temperatures moving the air about.
