The apparent curving of the winds is called?
the Coriolis effect
What is the name for the cause of the spiraling of winds?
The name for the cause of the spiraling of winds is the Coriolis effect. This effect is a result of Earth's rotation and causes moving air or water to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
In the northern hemisphere planetary winds are deflected to the right due to what?
Cause by Earth's rotation
What directions does the Coriolis effect cause winds to turn in the Northern Hemisphere versus in the Southern Hemisphere?
The coriolis effect is the apparent curve of a straight moving object (it turns to the Right in the Northern Hempishere). The coriolis effect is caused by different rotation speeds.
What is the main cause of surface currents in earth's ocean?
Surface currents in the Earth's oceans are mainly caused by the combination of the wind and the rotation of the Earth (Coriolis effect). The wind pushes the surface water, creating movement, and the Coriolis effect deflects this movement to create currents.
What cause Coriolis's effect?
The cause of Coriolis effect is the Earth's rotation and the mass of inertia. The deflection effects the direction of moving bodies on earth surface.
What is the main cause of currents?
the Coriolis EffectThe wind!
What does the Coriolis cause?
Currents to bend to the right in the Northern Hemisphere
What is the cause of global wind belts?
Its caused by the combination of pressure belts and the Coriolis effect.
What cause circular motion of air in pressure centers?
the Coriolis effect
In the southern hemisphere the Coriolis effect cause the wind to curve to?
left
In which direction does the coriolis effect cause currents in the northern hemisphere to turn?
The Coriolis effect causes currents in the northern hemisphere to turn to the right.
What cause wind patterns on the earth's surface?
Coriolis effect and difference in heat
What direction does the Coriolis effect cause currents in the northern hemisphere to turn?
In the northern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes currents to turn to the right. This means that ocean currents tend to flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere as a result of the Coriolis effect.
The apparent curving of the winds is called?
the Coriolis effect
The increased cooling that a wind can cause is called the Coriolis effect true or false?
true
Is the increased cooling that a wind can cause is called Coriolis effect?
Wind Chill Factor
