How was k2 formed?
like any mountain when TWO earth plates move together
How would languid animal move?
Languidly.
What can move an animal's skeleton by contracting and relaxing?
That would be muscle tissue.
How big are owls eyes?
They are very large. In fact, they take up so much of the owl's skull that there is no room for the muscles (such as human beings have) to move the eyes around. This is why an owl is able to swivel its head around to such a great extent (almost 180 degrees) On average, owls can rotate their heads 270 degrees. If humans had eyes in proportion to an owls, our eyes would be the size of saucers. NF
What do we call people who move from place to place looking for food?
That would be "nomads".
How would the wind blow if the earth did not rotate?
it wouldn't move and we would die
How are convection currents affected by the rotation of the earth?
If the Earth did not rotate, convection currents would move in one straight path, from the equator to the North Pole and back again. The rotation of the Earth causes this path to be skewed so that currents move in smaller circles between these areas. This is called the Coriolis Effect.
If you wanted to enjoy longer periods of daylight in the summertime would you move closer to the equator or farther away from it?
You would move farther away from the equator because of the tilt of Earth's axis.
What happens on earth when it rotate on its axis?
On the surface of the planet, we experience day and night, as the Sun seems to move across the sky from east to west. This is actually the Earth spinning counterclockwise, west to east, as viewed from a point above the North Pole. Since the Earth is moving fastest at the equator, moving objects are affected by the rotation as they move toward or away from the equator. Their paths seem to turn to the right (north of the equator) or left (south of the equator), but these are actually straight paths that curve as the Earth spins. This is called the Coriolis effect.
Why will you have to move on the equator?
There is no more reason to make you move on the equator as there is at any other point on Earth. Your question is strange and meaningless.
Why doesnt a helicopter move away from the earth atmosphere as the earth always move?
The Earth's atmosphere moves right along with the Earth. If it didn't, then anybody standing on the equator would be standing in a 1,000 mph wind !
At what rate of speed does the earth move to rotate 180 degrees in a sidereal day?
At the equator, the earth's rotational velocity is 1,674.4 km/h, or 465.1 m/s. (That's kilometers per hour, and meters per second)
If earth axis vertical earth warmer?
Well, Not all places it would, At equator it would be hot where as as move to pole the inclination of the sunrays will increase and so the temp. decreases.
Most of earth's cold polar waters move towards what central point on the planet?
the equator the equator
What if earth did not rotate or revolve?
we would have no days. 'Rotation' usually has to do with the Earth about its own axis. Mercury does not rotate about its own axis, it always has the same face to the Sun. It is thus called a Dead Planet. Our Moon does the same. It always has the same face towards the Earth. The opposite side is called the Dark Side of the Moon. If the Earth did not rotate about its own axis this would effect daily weather patterns and the Jet Stream. The air above the equator moves at the speed of rotation or about 1000 mph and is warmed by the sun. The air above each of the poles has no such speed and is much cooler. So air near the equator tends to rise and speed up and the air near the poles tends to sink and cool. This creates a planetary circulation called the Jet Stream. If the Earth did not rotate in this way I think the equator on the side facing the Sun would be much warmer and the poles and Dark Side would be much cooler. But since there would be no rotation about an axis there would be no poles just a region with less light and less heat. The air near the Sunny Side would rise and move outward towards the cooler regions and the air in the cooler regions would flow near the surface of the Earth and cool the surface quite differently.
How does the planet move all the way round and not earth?
around what? if its earth then it would rotate on its axis and and if ur talkin bout the revolution then if it is before earth (Venus, Mercury) then it wouldn't orbit around earth they would only orbit the sun and Venus would orbit mercury. and all of the planets after earth (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, others) they would orbit the sun and all the planets before them. but all planets rotate on their axis but it may take shorter or longer time to rotate once than how long it takes for earth to rotate on its axis once.
Where on Earth would you have to be standing in order to be spinning the fastest?
At the equator, just like when a basketball spins on your finger, the poles don't move and the middle moves fast.
