1: As you look down from the North Pole toward the equator, which way is the balloon spinning, clockwise or counterclockwise? Explain what you see and why.
2: As you look up from the South Pole toward the equator, which way is the balloon spinning, clockwise or counterclockwise? Explain what you see and why.
3: What happened when you tried to draw a straight line from the North Pole to the equator? Explain what you see and why.
- As i look down from the North POle toward the equator, the way balloon spinning is counterclockwise.
2: As you look up from the South Pole toward the equator, which way is the balloon spinning, clockwise or counterclockwise? Explain what you see and why.
- As i look up from the South Pole toward the equator, the clockwise is balloon spinning.
3: What happened when you tried to draw a straight line from the North Pole to the equator? Explain what you see and why.
- when i tried to draw a straight line from the North Pole to the equator, the deflection of the line is going to left ( west).
- when i tried to draw a straight line from the South Pole to the equator, the deflection of the line is going to the right ( east)
- For Northern Hemispheres, the line i draw i going to the right side and Southern is going to the left side if i again drew lines in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere but with the earth rotating in the opposite direction then the line i drew is in the opposite direction.
