Why do ocean currents and general wind patterns go in opposite circular patterns above and below the equator?
For anything small (like a bathtub), it doesn't - that's an urban legend. The theory is that coriolis forces makes water swirl one way in one hemisphere and the opposite way in the other - but that force is quite utterly negligable on small amounts of liquid or gas - such as your bathtub. The effect DOES work at the scale of ocean currents and hurricanes. Hurricanes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise, those in the southern hemisphere (which are properly called "Typhoons") rotate clockwise. The coriolis force comes about because the earth rotates. If you think about a wind blowing south from somewhere far into the northern hemisphere, as the wind travels southwards, the planet rotates from west to east causing the air to be spun around in a counter-clockwise direction. The opposite happens in the southern hemisphere.
Will a wind blowing to the north in the Northern Hemisphere be affected by the co riolis effect?
It will bend to the southwest.
How does a hurricane in the northern hemisphere form?
A Hurricane is a cyclonic circulation or midlatitude cyclone. It is a large air mass in the northern hemisphere that rotates counterclockwise around a low pressure system. Hurricanes are caused by 1) high water temps (80F at 1st 200 ft), 2) high warm air temperatures, humidity (unstable enough to sustain convection) 3) upper level winds are weak & blowing in direction that the sorm is moving and 4) the Coriolis effect contributes to the spinning. NOTE: 80degree F temp is key, sea-surfae temperature rises with air at 80deg F or more, aire water vapor then increases expontentially, when 80 deg F temp is exceeded, laten heat lifted from ocean grows large & creates a hurricane. Development of Hurricane: 1st - Tropical Disturbance Forms - (clusters of small thunderstorms with weak surface winds) - a low pressure zone pulls these clusters together 2nd- Tropical Depression Forms - (winds must be sustained at 23 mph) surface winds strengthen around and into center of storm 3rd - Tropical Storm Forms - the Coriolis effect spins counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, ware air continues to rise, then cools & water vapor condenses releasing latent heat, the latent heat warms the surrounding air of the tropical depression causing stronger updrafts which increase the rate of upward flow of warm moist air and winds are now sustained at 39mph or up to 73mph. The wind speed determines whether or not there is a Tropical Storm or a Hurricane. 4th - HURRICANE - caused by all of the above - and if the winds increase to be over 74mph there is a hurricane In the Northern Hemisphere these storms are referred to a Hurricanes Cyclones and Typhoons are other forms of hurricanes - just named differently because of the areas in which they form. Cyclones - form in the Indian Ocean Typhoon - form in the W. Pacific Ocean
Does air that flows northward from the horse latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere produces the easerlies?
No, the easterlies are in the Tropics to the south of the Horse Latitudes. Air tends to flow south from the Subtropical High in the Horse Latitudes and gets deflected to the right by the Coriolis Force, resulting in winds blowing from the east.
What if the wind stopped blowing for a year?
wind stops blowing when there is no high pressure area & low pressure area- and this is possible only when earth gets equally warmed by sunrays.so,if the wind stopped blowing for a year then there will be no rain on that year. on other hand the production of electricity by wind power will stop.
How will the winds of blowing out of a pressure system in the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere blow?
They will blow in opposite directions.
How will the wind blowing out of a high pressure system in the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere blow?
They will blow in opposite directions.
How will winds blowing out of a high pressure system in the northern hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere blow?
They will blow in opposite directions.
How will the winds blowing out of a high pressure system in the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere blow?
In the Northern Hemisphere, winds blowing out of a high-pressure system generally rotate in a clockwise direction. This pattern is known as anticyclonic flow. The air moves downward and outward from the center of the high-pressure system, resulting in a clockwise circulation around the area of high pressure. In the Southern Hemisphere, the winds blowing out of a high-pressure system rotate in a counterclockwise direction. This pattern is known as cyclonic flow. The air moves downward and outward from the center of the high-pressure system, causing a counterclockwise circulation around the area of high pressure. These wind patterns are a result of the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the rotation of the Earth. The Coriolis effect causes moving air to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in the observed clockwise and counterclockwise wind patterns around high-pressure systems, respectively.
What are Ferrel cells?
The air blowing cell of southern and northern hemisphere is known as Ferrel cell.
How will a wind blowing to the south in the northern hemisphere be affected by the corioils effect?
The Coriolis effect influences wind direction around the world in this way: in the Northern Hemisphere it curves winds to the right; in the Southern Hemisphere it curves them left. ... In these systems there is a balance between the Coriolis effect and the pressure gradient force and the winds flow in reverse.
Why do permanent winds get deflected towards the right or left in the northern and southern hemispheres while blowing?
The coriolis effect caused by Earth's rotation results in winds getting deflected to the right (clockwise) in the northern hemisphere and the left (anticlockwise) in the southern hemisphere.
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 will a wind blowing to the northern hemisphere be effected by the coriolis effect?
it will bend to the west
How will a wind blowing to the northern hemisphere be a affected by the coriolis effect?
it will bend to the west
Why would winds in the Northern Hemisphere blowing north curve east?
the criolis effect
How will a wind blowing to the south the northern hemisphere be affected by the Coriolis effect?
It will bend to the southwest.
