1. Describe how the rotation of Earth on its axis affects the tides. Be sure to include the evidence that supports your answer.

Answer/Explanation:

During low elevated tides, the Earth itself is pulled marginally toward the moon, making elevated tides on the contrary side of the planet. Earths pivot and the gravitational draw of the sun and moon make tides on our planet. As the sea swells toward the moon, an elevated tide is made.

But because the Earth rotates, circulating air is deflected. Instead of circulating in a straight pattern, the air deflects toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in curved paths. This deflection is called the Coriolis effect.
