    Leon Foucault explained the scientific process that explained the way the Earth spins. It used a weight and damp sand, the weight would move in a straight line at first. Then depending on where you are the weight would move in a different pattern.

    he used the scientific process that gave an example on how the earth spins. it showed how the earth spins by a pendulum making a line in damp sand while the earth was spinning making a circle.
