Does the rotation of the earth have anything to do with the climate and jet streams?

Answer 1

It has EVERYTHING to do with climate, season, winds, etc.

The Coriolis effect, which results from the Earth’s rotation, plays an important role in large-scale circulation of the atmosphere. As viewed by an observer on Earth, air appears to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This results in areas of low pressure rotating counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern hemisphere, with the opposite being true for areas of high pressure. If the Earth’s rotation were to suddenly reverse itself, these patterns would also be reversed. The westerlies would become easterlies and the northeast trades would blow from the northwest.

Changes in the Earth’s rotation would have an effect on ocean currents, which can influence local climates. The El Niño and La Niña phenomena that affect global climate patterns on a periodic basis.

One large component of a location’s climate that would not likely be affected would be the effect of seasons, which are more dependent on the tilt of the Earth’s axis than they are on the Earth’s rotation.

Answer 2

The climate is not directly affected by the earth's rotation. It is more determined by the axial tilt we have of approximately 23 degrees. That is why when in the northern hemisphere it is summer, winter is happening in the southern. The jet streams are directly affected by the rotation. That is what causes them to move. The dips and north/south movement is due to warm/cold air masses.

Answer 3

Yes the polar ice caps and rotation of gravity and magnetic fields were all weird in the 1400-1600's which may explain greater questioning creativity and etc, that led to the Rennassiance and art and many good things came out of fear.
Reaally good history on this paticular geographical time period, "mini ice age"
seems to be happening again.

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

Of course. Look up "coriolis force."
Also, the rotation helps make clouds, which also have a direct impact on both.

Answer 6

Nope

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

yes and so do the oceans and the weather

Answer 9

coriolis force is correct. read about that

Answer 10

Of course not... who told you that crazy *** ****....
