A swinging pendulum, such as the one shown in the image below, rotates about a vertical axis once every 24 hours because
of Earth's rotation about its axis.
Earth's axis is parallel to its ecliptic.
of Earth's orbit around the Sun.
Earth's equator is moving faster than the poles.

Because of the Earth's rotation about it's axis, correct?

>Earth's axis is parallel to its ecliptic
Do you mean to say 'Earth's axis is perpendicular to the equator'?

It's the way that answer is worded. I dislike these kind of questions because I feel it could have two or more answers... This is for a "physical geology" course by the way.

Oh now I see. It is a multiple choice question.
The answer is: 'Earth's rotation about its axis'

Thanks. Last retarded question:
shows an example of nuclear fission.
exhibits the formation of electromagnetic radiation.
explains how supernova form.
shows two atoms combining during nuclear fusion.
"shows two atoms combining during nuclear fusion" because two lighter elements form to create a heavier one?

>>8606774
Correct.

Thanks. The first chapter of my text didn't even mention nuclear fusion or fisson but I feel I have a basic understanding of them for the most part.
