Affects the climate by affecting the direction of the wind, temperature, ocean currents and precipitation. It affects day and night because the Earth rotates on its axis, not its orbit around the sun. The term "a day" is determined by the time it takes for the Earth to rotate once on its axis and includes both day and night.]]> 2021-11-12 18:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/csantamaria7/d1rdmhw6oqgbfmws/wish/1887308366 csantamaria7 https://padlet.com/csantamaria7/d1rdmhw6oqgbfmws/wish/1888559416 The global air circulation and the Coriolis Effect transfer warm air from low latitudes and cold air from high latitudes as wind moves from high pressure to low pressure. These global wind and pressure belts are important to Earth's climate, and determine the local geographical pattern of precipitation and temperature.]]> 2021-11-13 21:06:33 UTC https://padlet.com/csantamaria7/d1rdmhw6oqgbfmws/wish/1888559416 csantamaria7 https://padlet.com/csantamaria7/d1rdmhw6oqgbfmws/wish/1888561223 The Coriolis Effect makes things (like planes or currents of air) traveling long distances around the Earth appear to move at a curve as opposed to a straight line. It's a pretty weird phenomenon, but the cause is simple: Different parts of the Earth move at different speeds.]]> 2021-11-13 21:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/csantamaria7/d1rdmhw6oqgbfmws/wish/1888561223 csantamaria7 https://padlet.com/csantamaria7/d1rdmhw6oqgbfmws/wish/1888563086 Moon impacts on life: time, tides and light. 'For many animals, particularly birds, the Moon is essential to migration and navigation. Other will time their reproduction to coincide with the specific phases of the lunar cycle.]]> 2021-11-13 21:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/csantamaria7/d1rdmhw6oqgbfmws/wish/1888563086 csantamaria7 https://padlet.com/csantamaria7/d1rdmhw6oqgbfmws/wish/1888565946 Circadian rhythms refer to day and night cycles driven by Earth orbiting the Sun. Human circadian rhythms are easily thrown off by jet lag or a change of the clocks. But there are also circalunar rhythms, which are tied to lunar cycles.

This gravitational pull is at its strongest during the New Moon and Full Moon, so here we experience the highest and lowest tides.]]> 2021-11-13 21:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/csantamaria7/d1rdmhw6oqgbfmws/wish/1888567470 csantamaria7 https://padlet.com/csantamaria7/d1rdmhw6oqgbfmws/wish/1888569405 2021-11-13 21:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/csantamaria7/d1rdmhw6oqgbfmws/wish/1888569405 csantamaria7 https://padlet.com/csantamaria7/d1rdmhw6oqgbfmws/wish/1892046967 2021-11-15 18:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/csantamaria7/d1rdmhw6oqgbfmws/wish/1892046967
