How are convection currents and global winds related?
Global winds drag on the ocean's surface causing it to move and build up in the direction the wind is blowing.
Does the location of the global surface wind and pressure systems change over the year?
Yes, they move north or south following the vertical noontime sun.
Do the winds move toward a high-pressure area or away from it?
Divergent
What winds move west to east?
West winds.
Two places on earth that you can't travel east or west?
north and south pole. at the north pole the only direction you can move is south, at the south pole the only direction you can move is north... however this falls apart as soon as you leave the pole (even one step) then you can turn right or left and move east or west. (though not far)
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.
Do the winds turn north south east are west in a tornado?
The fact that the a tornado spins means that the winds move in all directions at different points within the tornado, as they make a full 360 degree rotation. In the northern hemisphere tornadoes spin counterclockwise, so winds on the north side of a tornado blow east to west, those on the west side blow north to south, those on the south side blow west to east, and those on the east side blow south to north. This is reversed in the southern hemisphere where tornadoes spin clockwise.
Winds blowing from the north in the southern hemisphere will appear to?
In the Southern Hemisphere, winds blowing from the north will appear to move east. This is due to the Coriolis Effect.
How are convection currents and global winds related?
Global winds drag on the ocean's surface causing it to move and build up in the direction the wind is blowing.
What factor causes surface currents north and south of the equator to move in different locations?
Surface currents are created by air currents, earth's rotation, and positions of the continents.
Are surface currents caused by wind?
yes surface currents are currently caused by wind! because the global winds move the water, in the northern hemisphere, the winds moves clock wise, and in the southern hemisphere the winds move counter clock wise. and moves the water 400 meters under the water.
From where to where did the continents move?
from north to south
Where did the africans move to In the Great Migration of 1910 to 1940?
From the south to the north
What year did panama move from south America to north America?
Panama move from south amerika to north amerika on 1903...♥
What causes surface currents to move in circular paths?
question mark OK i have no idea
