What is the term for the Earth's motion that produces day and night?
the Coriolis effect
What causes hurricanes to move in a certain direction?
The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth and the inertia of the mass experiencing the effect. Newton's laws of motion govern the motion of an object in a (non accelerating) inertial frame of reference. Counter clockwise northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern.
How does the coriolis effect determine the general path of air circulation?
The effect of the Coriolis force is an apparent deflection of the path of an object that moves within a rotating coordinate system. The object does not actually deviate from its path, but it appears to do so because of the motion of the coordinate system.
What is the surface currents north of the equator are?
Because of the spinning of the Earth, wind and ocean currents closest to the equator will travel straighter. Wind and ocean currents further from the equator will deflect away from the equator.Ê
In the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect makes winds?
bend to the right of their motion
What describes changes in air motion resulting from earths rotation?
coriolis effects
Once a current is set in motion what changes its course?
Coriolis effect
What cause circular motion of air in pressure centers?
the Coriolis effect
What is the term for the Earth's motion that produces day and night?
the Coriolis effect
In the northern hemisphere the Coriolis effect makes wind?
Then to the right of their motion
What is the general motion of surface currents because of the influence of the Coriolis effect in the North Atlantic ocean?
Because of the Influence of the Coriolis Effect, the general motion of surface currents in the north Atlantic is to the right. In the south Atlantic the general motion is to the left.
Once a current is set in motion what can change it's course?
Coriolis effect
In the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect makes winds .?
bend to the right of their motion

What term describes changes in air motion resulting from earth's rotation?
Coriolis effect
The deflection of air masses resulting from earths eastward rotation?
This is the Coriolis Effect. The curvature appears within the rotating reference frame, in which the motion is a straight path being viewed as a curved path. In the northern hemisphere, moving objects appear to turn to the right. In the southern hemisphere, moving objects appear to turn to the left. For a path exactly along the equator, the effect disappears.
What is the general motion of surface currents in north Atlantic ocean during the coriolis effect?
Because Of The Infulence Of The Coriolis Effect, The General Motion Of Surface Currents In The North Atlantic Is To The Right. In The South Atlantic The General Motion Is To The Left. -Hope This Helped!
