Earth’s Rotation Earth ’s rotation is the rotation of the solid Earth around its own axis. The Earth rotates from the west towards the east. As viewed from the North Star or polestar Polaris‚ the Earth turns counter-clockwise. The North Pole‚ also known as the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole‚ is the point in the Northern Hemisphere where the Earth ’s axis of rotation meets its surface. This point is distinct from the Earth ’s North Magnetic Pole. The South Pole is the other point where

Soil Resistivity Why Determine the Soil Resistivity? Soil Resistivity is most necessary when determining the design of the grounding system for new installations (green field applications) to meet your ground resistance requirements. Ideally‚ you would find a location with the lowest possible resistance. But as we discussed before‚ poor soil conditions can be overcome with more elaborate grounding systems. The soil composition‚ moisture content‚ and temperature all impact the soil resistivity

AGE OF THE EARTH Scientists have settled on the age of the earth of about 4.6 billion years as a result of research started almost 50 years ago. This conclusion was based upon carefully designed and conducted experiments that compared the ratios in rock samples of parent elements to daughter elements ( some of which would have been from radioactive decay of the parent‚ some of which may have been present in the sample at the time of formation). Since radioactive decay is known to occur at a constant
