12 Questions
What is the effect of the Earth's rotation?
The diversion of flowing air and water
What is the difference between perihelion and aphelion?
Perihelion is when the Earth is closest to the Sun, while aphelion is when the Earth is farthest from the Moon
What causes the occurrence of day and night on Earth?
The daily rising and setting of the Sun
What is the Coriolis Effect and how is it related to the rotation of the Earth?
The Coriolis Effect is the phenomenon where flowing air and water are diverted in directions (North-South to East-West) due to the Earth's rotation, which causes them to appear to curve. This effect is related to the Earth's rotation because it is caused by the Coriolis force, which is a result of the Earth's rotation on its axis.
What is the difference between the Earth's perihelion and aphelion?
The Earth's perihelion is the point in its orbit where it is closest to the sun, while its aphelion is the point where it is farthest from the sun.
How does the Earth's rotation affect the occurrence of day and night?
The Earth's rotation causes the occurrence of day and night because as it rotates on its axis, different parts of the Earth are exposed to the sun's light at different times, resulting in alternating periods of daylight and darkness.
The earth rotates on its axis from east to west direction in a day.
False
The Coriolis Effect is responsible for the diversion of flowing air and water from East-West to North-South direction.
False
Earth's revolution around the sun is responsible for the occurrence of day and night.
False

The earth is tilted ______ degrees
23.5
Revolutions refers to the movement of the earth around the ______
sun
