Why are the winds moving toward the equator deflected to the left?
it is because of the earth's rotation. Spinning the winds to go west to east on the USA
What is the Coriolis effect and how does it relate to the three major wind belts?
the earth spins on its axis and rotates so the wind turns and changes direction. some winds want to go t the equator, others the poles, but regardless in the north they go right and in the south they go left.
Why does equator two hemispheres when the prime meridian does not?
Actually, the equator divides the Earth in North and South hemisphers. And is not a subjective "cut" of the Earth. South from the Equator, the polarity of the Earth is reversed from the northern hemisphere. (Water goes down in a sink from right to left in the north and from left to right in the south) While the prime meridian is a virtual and subjective line created just to be a time reference. But there is no "physical" difference between the East and the West. The Prime meridian could be any parallel lines linking north Pole to South pole.
What is the direction of the prevailing winds Kitchener-Waterloo Ontario?
left right centre
What does the coriolis effect do to winds in the northern hemisphere?
In the Northern Hemisphere winds spiral to the right; while in the southern hemisphere winds spiral to the left.
Why don't winds blow directly north and south on the Earth?
That is because the Earth is rotating. The coriolis effect puts a spin on the moving air. The following video is about storms, but the principle is explained.
How would the Coriolis effect affect winds flowing from the equator to the poles?
It deflects wind to the right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern hemisphere.
What deflects all free moving objects to the right north of the equator and left to the south?
coriolis effect

Does the equator go left and right or up and down?
Left and right.
In the northern hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the what?
The coriolis force is strongest at the poles

How do you get past the sacred grove maze?
This is how you do it go left, down, right, right, up, left, up, up, left, down, down, right, up
Where does a latitude line run?
From left to right. Like the equator

Does upwelling happen in open ocean?
Yes, but one type only: equatorial upwelling!There are three types of upwelling: equatorial, coastal, and seasonal.Equatorial upwelling is caused by the winds known as the trade winds. The trade winds blow from east to west in the vicinity of the equator. On the northern side of the equator Ekman Transport is to the right (northward), and on the southern side it is to the left (southward). With water flowing directly away from the equator, both northward and southward, the equator itself has a deficit of water. Hence, water from below upwells to fill in the gap. Equatorial upwelling is most prominent in the Pacific Ocean.
What causes winds to be deflected to the right or the left as they flow from high pressure to low pressure?
Winds are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere because of the earths rotation.
