Earth rotation refers to the changes in the rotational period of the Earth, which occur due to various processes such as external tidal forces, surficial fluid processes, and internal interactions within the Earth's core and solid structure. ...
FASTER As the world burns. Photo by Greg Rosenke. As the world turns Even though it’s over, 2020 is still getting worse. Case in point, scientists have discovered that, due to a variety of circumstances, the Earth apparently spun on its axis at an increased rate last year. Yes, our ...

fastest, while someone standing on the North or South pole would be perfectly still. (Imagine a basketball spinning on your finger. A random point on the ball's equator has farther to go in a single spin as a point near your finger. Thus, the point on the equator is moving faster.) ...
The apparent speed-up of Earth’s rotation could be attributed to the “Chandler Wobble.” This minuscule change in time could introduce the need for a negative leap second. If it seems like the world is moving fast, know that it truly is. On June 29, the National Physical Laboratory ...

The effect of Earth's rotation on a progressive tide wave is to create a slope of the sea surface at right angles to the direction of propagation, that is, if you look in the direction the wave is moving you will have higher sea level on your right, as can be seen inFig. 4.10. ...
This spiral pattern was formed by a physical law referred to as the “conservation of angular momentum,” which is a result of gravity pulling particles together, and the particles trying to even out their own natural momentum to match the other particles. Faster moving particles produce excess ...
Previous research had shown that the Earth's core rotates faster than the rest of the planet. However, scientists from the University of Cambridge have discovered that earlier estimates of 1 degree every year were inaccurate and that the core is actually moving much slower than previously believed...
