प्रश्न
State three effects of the rotation of the earth.
Advertisements
उत्तर
- Day and Night: The Earth's rotation on its axis causes the cycle of day and night, as different parts of the Earth are exposed to sunlight and then shaded as the Earth rotates.
- Coriolis Effect: The Earth's rotation causes moving air and water to be deflected, creating the Coriolis effect, which influences global wind patterns and ocean currents.
- Apparent Movement of the Sun: The rotation of the Earth gives the appearance of the Sun rising in the east and setting in the west, as the Earth rotates from west to east.
