  • Explain the term 'rotation'.

\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer} \downarrow}

Since this question is asked under 'Geography', I assume you want the definition of the term rotation used in geography.

__________________

  1. Well, in geography or science, <u>rotation</u> is used to define <em>the time period when the Earth </em><em>rotates </em><em>around</em><em> </em>(goes around)<em> its imaginary axis. </em>
  2. The Earth takes about 24 hours (1 day) to complete 1 rotation.
  3. This rotation of the Earth causes the change in day & night.
  4. The Earth moves in a retrograde rotation (meaning, it moves in a clockwise manner).
  5. Rotation also causes deflection in ocean currents & air currents.
