What is the first stage in the life of a mid-latitude cyclone?
Obtaining the energy that will be released by the storm so heat from the Sun warming the sea surface is the first stage. Without this there would be no cyclone.
What causes surface ocean currents to curve to the right in the northern hemisphere?
Coriolis effect
What is the difference between midlatitude cyclone and hurricane?
A tropical cyclone is a warm-core, low pressure system without any "front" attached, that develops over the tropical or subtropical waters, and has an organized circulation. Depending upon location, tropical cyclones have different names around the world. In the: Atlantic/Eastern Pacific Oceans - hurricanes Western Pacific - typhoons Indian Ocean - cyclones As Defined by the National Weather Service. Cyclone An area of low atmospheric pressure that has a closed circulation. Cyclones (or more commonly called "low pressure areas") rotate counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. They usually bring about clouds and precipitation. Hurricane A warm-core tropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind (using the U.S. 1-minute average) is 64 kt (74 mph or 119 kph) or more. The term hurricane is used for Northern Hemisphere cyclones east of the International Dateline to the Greenwich Meridian. It has a diameter of 250 to 500 miles and a cyclonic circulation typically extending to near 50,000 feet. It is called a Typhoon in the western Pacific north of the Equator and west of the International Dateline, a Cyclone in the Indian Ocean, and Baguio in the Philippines area. There is one more type of Cyclone that is not talked about very often but can create just as much damage and that is a Mid Latitude Cyclone. They occure in the Mid-Latitude Areas between 30° and 60° north and south of the Equator. and form differently than a tropical cyclone.
What is the usual surface wind pattern around the eye of northern hemisphere hurricanes?
Counterclockwise and inward
How is temperature and latitude related?
In this case, we'll have to talk about the equator.Temperature gets warmer the closer you go to equator. The equator is at 0 degrees latitude. We're not talking about degrees in temperature, we are talking about GPS degrees.Most of the time, the smaller the # of the latitude, the warmer it may get. Since the equator always gets sunlight all year round, the closer you get to it, the warmer it'll get.In the Northern Hemisphere, you have to go south to get to the equator.In the Southern Hemisphere, you have to go north the get to the equator.
The longest parallel on the earths surface is the?
Equator is the longest parallel on the Earth's surface. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere and is located at 0 degrees latitude.
How many hemispheres are in the world?
There are four hemispheres on Earth: Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere. These divisions are based on lines of latitude and longitude that run across the Earth's surface.
Is the names of the four hemispheres of earth?
The four hemispheres of Earth are the Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere. These hemispheres are divided based on the lines of latitude and longitude that run across the Earth's surface.
What Hemisphere is the Mediterranian sea on?
The Northern Hemisphere: the Northern Hemisphere, the half of the world's surface lying north of the
What does earths rotation cause surface in the northern hemisphere to do?
The longest season on the northern hemisphere is summer.
Which has more land area - the northern or southern hemisphere?
The northern hemisphere has more land area compared to the southern hemisphere. About 68.3% of the Earth's land area is located in the northern hemisphere.
Witch hemisphere has more land?
The Northern Hemisphere has more land compared to the Southern Hemisphere. Approximately 68% of the Earth's land surface is located in the Northern Hemisphere.
What percentage of the Earth's total land surface is in the Northern Hemisphere?
Approximately 68% of the Earth's total land surface is located in the Northern Hemisphere.
What direction do surface winds circulate in a high pressure system in the northern hemisphere?
They circulate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, and counter clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
What hemisphere has more water the South or North hemisphere?
The southern hemisphere has more water! :)The southern hemisphere has water on 81% of its surface and the northern hemisphere has water on only 61% of its surface.The southern hemisphere has more water than the northern hemisphere because the northern hemisphere has the continent of Asia in it which takes up a lot of space.
Which hemisphere is Latitude 33 degrees North and Longitude 99 degrees West?
Depending on how you slice it, that point is in the northern (not southern) hemisphere, and in the western (not eastern) hemisphere. You can tell from the "north" and "west" tags on the latitude and longitude.
Does surface currents move counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere?
yes
