Plant Growth Term Paper

¶ … earth's rotation affect plant growth? The seasons of the year are produced by the tilt of the axis of the Earth. The earth's tilt on its axis causes the hours of daylight to shorten during the cooler months of the year. This affects the changing of the seasons and indirectly affects plant growth, as a plant's ability to survive and flourish will depend on the area where it is located and the relative heat or chill of that region and the region's exposure to sunlight. ("Will the equinoxes and solstices switch places in 13,000 years because of the precession of the Earth's rotation axis?" 2005) "Summer in the northern hemisphere occurs at the same...

The vernal equinox heralds the beginning of spring and the growing season for the northern hemisphere because of the nature of the earth's motions in relation to the sun. ("Will the equinoxes and solstices switch places in 13,000 years because of the precession of the Earth's rotation axis?" 2005)
However, in terms of polarity and the magnetic fields of the earth generated by the earth's movement, no study has conclusively shown…
