Acommon visual behavior is the âhead jerk.â This motion is generally observedwhen an individual otter approaches a raft of sea otters. The approaching otternoses and sniffs the other otters while jerking its head from side to side.
Axis tilt is the vertical angle at which the ball rotates. Axis tilt is what is commonly known as spin. Axis tilt is determined by the position of the thumb during the release. If the hand turns too early, the thumb exits on top of the ball. Bowlers with a high degree of axis tilt will be able to see the top of their hand during the release and follow through.
The right-hand rule helps amateur astronomers understand axial tilt. When the fingers of the right hand are curled in the direction of the planet's rotation, the thumb points in the direction of the planet's North Pole. An axis is an invisible line around which an object rotates, or spins. The object can be a tiny particle, smaller than a single atom. Or it could be a star with the mass of a thousand suns.
