Impact of rotation
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 4 years, 4 months ago

The spinning of the Earth on its axis from west to east is called rotation.

Effects of the Earth’s rotation are:

  • The rotation of the Earth causes the day and the night. The part of the Earth facing the Sun experiences day while the part which does not face the Sun experiences night.
  • The speed of the Earth’s rotation has affected the shape of the Earth. Because of the speed of rotation, a centrifugal force is created which leads to the flattening of the Earth at poles and bulging at the center.
  • The Earth’s rotation affects the movement of water in the oceans. The tides are deflected due to the rotation.
  • The speed of rotation also affects the movement of the wind. Due to rotation, winds and the ocean currents deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
