explain in detail how the rotation of the earth influences the seasons & tides.?

Answer 1

tides are related with the distance between earth and moon

while the seasons are related with the distance between sun and earth


sam ;)

Answer 2

This is related to the distance of the moon and the earth. Through out the year the distance of these two bodies differ. Because of gravitational force, the grater the distance of the moon to the earth produces low tide. The gravity of the moon actually pulls the sea. On the other hand when the distance of moon and earth is farther it is high tide.
Look at the the works of Newton, the father of modern sciences. He has theories and expiation and effects of mass and gravitation

Answer 3

It has little to do with the tides,yet this little part of equation is called the Coriolis effect.It's caused because the air doesn't rotate as fast as the ground below it,causing intense friction between these two mediums.Because the earth rotates on it's axis,seasons are formed far from the equator...tom science

Answer 4

We have seasons because of the axis tilt of our planet, not because of the rotation of the Earth.The tides are from the pull on the Earth from the Moon and Sun, also not the rotation.

Answer 5

The tides are influenced by the moon which rotates around the earth. The earth's rotation has nothing to do with it.

The season's are influenced by earth's REVOLUTION around the sun. The rotation has nothing to do with it.

Answer 6

the moons gravitational pull is the cause of the tides the weather is produced by the sun heating up the earth and the air currents coming off of it typhoons and hurricanes are produced but the sea being heatd inthe trpopical zones thisheat is relesed whenit canhold nomore and so on ...the seasons are produced by the fact of the earths being tilted on it's axis by 23.5(?) degrees... when on one side of the sun this means the north pole ill get more light for longer and the reverse when on the other side of the sun... I actually knew a bloke who thought the earth wobbled by that amount every year to give us the sesaons... rad idea huh?

Answer 7

When the earth rotates it is going around the sun. The sun is exerting some forces on the earth. So, you find that the seasons change when the forces are in flux;

Answer 8

Seasons:

The axis on which the earth rotates is tilted. The angle of the tilt is about 23 1/3 degrees from "normal" (normal being at 90 degrees to the angle at which the sun is from the earth). As the earth progresses in its orbit around the sun, the amount of sunlight any part of the earth receives varies.

For example, imagine the earth's orbit around the sun (as a circle, if you like) is divided up into 12 equal segments - one for each month. Take a location on the earth as an example - say London. During 3 segments of the earth's orbit (the summer months), because of the tilt in the earth's axis, the amount of time London spends in daytime (with sunlight) is greater than the amount of time it spends in darkness. As the sun has longer to warm that part of the earth during those 3 months, it is warmer.

During the 3 segments on the opposite side of the orbit, (the winter months) the opposite is true where London spends more time in darkness than it does in daytime. As the sun has much less time to warm that part of the earth during those 3 months, it is colder.

It isn't just during those 3 months of summer and winter that the variation start and stop. The 3 months in between either way, spring and autumn, the amount of time London spends in daylight increases and decreases gradually. With that, so does the amount of time the sun has to warm up London's part of the earth.

And the sun's warming effect isn't limited to directly warming the ground and objects on it. It also affects air currents. As the air gets warmer, its pressure gets higher, and this has a calming effect on the weather. Sea currents are also affected - warm water rises to the surface as cold water sinks, creating ocean wide circulation of warm and cold water. The Gulf Stream is a good example of this. Sea currents also affect the weather.

In short, in summer, as the sun has more time to warm a particular part of the earth, the surface gets warmer, the air gets warmer, the seas get warmer and because the air and sea are warmer, the weather tends to be better too. Maybe London's a bad example then...

Now reverse the example for winter and you have lower temperatures, worse weather, and more rain/snow (percipitation).

Tides:

The moon affects tides by way of its gravitational pull. As the moon orbits the earth, its gravity "pulls" water towards it.

Let's take an area as an example - the English Channel (near enough to London). As the moon's orbit nears the English Channel, the water is pulled towards the moon and this creates high tide.

Imagine the earth with the moon orbiting around it in a circle. Think of the point at which the moon is directly over the English Channel as 0 degrees. This is when there is high tide in areas around the English Channel. When the moon is at 90 degrees, the English Channel experiences low tide as another area's water is pulled closer to the moon, the water of the English Channel draws shallower. At 180 degrees, as the water directly on the other side of the earth is pulled towards the moon, a directly opposite effect is experienced by the water of the English Channel. This is the residual effect of the earth's own gravity on the water that is experiencing low tide.

Think of a water bed. If you push down on a water bed the water goes to other areas of the water bed that is not under pressure by your weight. This results in the matress bulging out in areas around the area that you are pushing down. If you replace the water bed with earth's oceans, and your weight with the earth's gravity, you have the same tidal effect that water experiences on the opposite side of where the moon is. As water at 90 and 270 degrees of the moon's orbit experiences low tide (the gravitational pull of the earth on the water is greater than the gravitational pull of the moon), the water at 180 degrees gets pushed up.

Answer 9

It doesn't. That's just another myth put out by NASA and the CIA

Answer 10

Its all to do with the moon. Look it up on the web.
