What is the curving of the air in the atmosphere due to the earth's rotation called?
Coriolis Force
If earth stopped spinning would it loose atmosphere?
No, the atmosphere is held in place by gravity, not centripetal force. If the earth stopped spinning, there would be no coriolis force though. This would stop deflecting the moving air in the atmosphere.
The apparent curving of the winds is called?
the Coriolis effect
What are Jupiter's white stripes?
Jupiter's white strips are formed by the tops of cloud formations in the planet's atmosphere which are formed by convection in the atmosphere modified by the coriolis force produced by the planet's rapid spin.
What is one convection cell that forms because of the coriolis effect?
The Coriolis Effect is the phenomenon that effects global winds. A convection cell is a form of wind and this is the first part of the coriolis effect.
How does earths rotation influence the movement of global winds?
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.
Does the Coriolis effect make a tornado start to rotate?
No. Tornadoes are too small for the Coriolis effect to influence them.
How does the rotation of the earth influence wind?
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.
How does the rotation of the earth influence the global wind?
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.
Due to the Coriolis effect winds traveling from Florida to Maine curve?
north
How how does Earth's rotation influence the movement of global winds?
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.
How did the Coriolis effect influence winds?
it affected influince winds because coriolis can go out of control so it makes winds stronger.
What is the curving of the air in the atmosphere due to the earth's rotation called?
Coriolis Force
What are the factors that influence the speed and direction of wind?
pressure of the area, relief and coriolis forse.
How does the coriolis effect influence the currents on the global scale?
by tell what time it is in each counties.
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.
Winds traveling north could seem curved because?
All wind is deflected due to the Coriolis Force.
