Answer The earth rotates around its vertical axis. The axis is an imaginary line passing through the centre of the earth. Its two ends on the surface are called North and South poles The Earth completes one rotation in 24 hours.

2:The Earth's axis is vertical, meaning it runs up and down. (A rolling log, on the other hand, has a horizontal axis, meaning it runs sideways.) The Earth's axis runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. It takes the Earth 24 hours, or one day, to make one complete rotation around this invisible line: Earth's rotation is the rotation of planet Earth around its own axis. Earth rotates eastward, in prograde motion. As viewed from the north pole star Polaris, Earth turns counterclockwise. ... The South Pole is the other point where Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface, in Antarctica.

hope this helps have a great night ❤️❤️❤️

What index provides evidence of when different types of life evolved on Earth?
aev [14]

There are all sorts of ways to reconstruct the history of life on Earth. Pinning down when specific events occurred is often tricky, though. For this, biologists depend mainly on dating the rocks in which fossils are found, and by looking at the “molecular clocks” in the DNA of living organisms.

There are problems with each of these methods. The fossil record is like a movie with most of the frames cut out. Because it is so incomplete, it can be difficult to establish exactly when particular evolutionary changes happened.

Modern genetics allows scientists to measure how different species are from each other at a molecular level, and thus to estimate how much time has passed since a single lineage split into different species. Confounding factors rack up for species that are very distantly related, making the earlier dates more uncertain.

These difficulties mean that the dates in the timeline should be taken as approximate. As a general rule, they become more uncertain the further back along the geological timescale we look. Dates that are very uncertain are marked with a question mark.
