Yes, :-) . My student meant did the earth create noise just because of
its rotation, as you guessed in A2. It was a cause-effect relation.
Cause: The earth rotates, effect: noise? He actually was looking for if
there was such a cause and effect relation. Do you think that all the
sounds (except the ones created by human activities such as speaking,
concerts etc.) like the crashing waves on the earth has a symetrical
relation with the rotation?
