A) The elevation finder can help you find out the elevation of land for a country, place or other location. You can even figure out the land elevation below the sea or ocean. You can do this by typing in an address, name of a place, coordinates etc., into the corresponding input fields above.
I saw an experiment in a small ramshackle museum in Ecuador on the equator. There was a sink on a stand. When it was placed a metre on one side of the equator the water circled clockwise as it drained, one metre on the other side the water drained anti-clockwise and when directly over the equator the water drained, straight down, with no rotation.
The South Pole is the other point where the Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface, in Antarctica. The Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the sun and once every 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds with respect to the stars (see below).Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past.he Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the sun and once every 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds with respect to the stars (see below).
