Only subtropical high pressure is affected by coriolis force whereas upper air winds (jetstreams) are not affected.

What is the force that deflects prevailing winds?
The Coriolis effect is the force that deflects prevailing winds
What is the force that deflects wind?
The Coriolis effect is the force that deflects prevailing winds
How does the Coriolis force effect modify air movement?
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects winds to the right. This causes hurricanes and typhoons to spin counterclockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects winds to the left. This causes hurricanes and typhoons to spin clockwise.
When winds curve because of the earth's rotation it is called?
Coriolis Force
What deflects surface winds to the right in the northern hemisphere?
Coriolis Force
What effect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The effect that a reduction in surface wind speed will have on the Coriolis force is to reduce the effect of the Coriolis force. Winds blowing at higher speeds are pulled on more by the Coriolis force, which somewhat alters the direction in which they blow.
Why do upper level winds tend to blow along the contours?
Because they are forced only by the pressure gradient force and the coriolis effect. If friction were involved, they would by angled accordingly.
In the northern hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the what?
The coriolis force is strongest at the poles
At which location does the coriolis force have the least effect on wind?
The Coriolis effect has the least effect on winds in equatorial regions and the most effect on winds in polar regions. Coriolis effect deflects winds to the right of their initial direction in the northern hemisphere and left of their initial direction in the southern hemisphere.
How did the Coriolis effect influence winds?
it affected influince winds because coriolis can go out of control so it makes winds stronger.
What makes global winds curve?
Coriolis force causes global winds to curve. As winds move north or south, they are deflected due to the rotation of the Earth. They curve to the west.
Which deflects winds to the west or east?
The Coriolis Force. It deflects wind to the right in the northern hemisphere and the left in the southern hemisphere. It is a consequence of earth's rotation.
