      If you imagine that the earth is completely covered in water, there are two bulges of water - one towards the moon and another on the opposite side. The rise and fall in sea-level is caused by the earth rotating on its axis underneath these bulges of water. There are two tides a day because it passes under two bulges for each rotation (24 hours).

      At the same time that Earth is rotating on its axis, it’s making a circle — or . revolution — around the sun. We say that Earth revolves around the sun.” Have a student be the revolve sign holder, holding up the sign every time you say the word . revolve. Have another student hold up a sign with a circle on it to represent that revolve ...

      Earth. Rotating on its axis about once every 24 hours the Coriolis Effect on the motion of the Earth's atmosphere is quite strong, creating continent sized swirls of cloud systems which are easily visible from space.

      In other words, the pendulum was swinging in a fixed plane with respect to background stars as Earth turned beneath it, carrying the Pantheon and everything else around. This demonstration uses a pendulum at the north “pole” of a small scale “Earth” to show the fixed swing-plane and the “planet” rotating beneath it.

      The students modeling the Earth should begin rotating while slowly moving around the Sun. Question: “How many times should the students modeling the Earth rotate as he/she goes completely around the Sun 1 time?” (365) 3) Have both students try out motions briefly and then stop. 4)

      How do the earth’s rotation and the ocean’s temperature affect the whirling motion of a hurricane? ... Weather scientists can predict when hurricanes will form. When the rotating winds and air reach 74 miles per hour, the T.V. weather folks call it a hurricane. Hurricanes are huge storms that with winds that rotate, or circle, rapidly ...

      Observe both sides of the earth while it is rotating. Now have one partner hold the dowel at the South Pole and another partner hold the other end at the North Pole and hold the axis horizontal. Slowly rotate the globe in the same direction as before, from west to east (Figure 2).

      *The Earth is actually not quite spherical. Because the Earth is rotating about its axis, and because Earth materials (rocks) are not perfectly rigid, the Earth is approximately an ellipsoid. The polar radius (6357 km) is about 21 km smaller than the equatorial radius (6378 km).

      However, because the Earth is rotating and because there is friction between the air and the ground, the actual wind direction at large scales of motion is not from high to low pressure. In this class we will only look at two types of weather charts: 500 mb weather charts and surface weather charts. On both charts the strength of the pressure ...

      Because the same side is facing Earth, many students may make the mistaken assumption that the Moon does not rotate. It does, but the period of its rotation is the same as the period of its orbit around the Earth. This can be pointed out by the following activity: Have a student modeling Earth to stand facing the Sun.
