What category would a hurricane with 120 mph winds be?
A hurricane with sustained winds of 122 mph would be a category 3.
Is greenhouse effect important in keeping the temperatures in your atmosphere relatively stable?
Without this effect we would all be dead.
What does a sustained effect mean?
Something that is 'sustained' lasts (prolonged for an extended period or without interruption) - therefore a sustained effect would be an effect that lasted.
Is the Greenhouse effect necessary?
Yes, the greenhouse effect is necessary to keep the earth warm enough for life. Without the green house effect we would all be dead.
Why do upper level winds tend to blow along the contours?
Because they are forced only by the pressure gradient force and the coriolis effect. If friction were involved, they would by angled accordingly.
Why would winds in the Northern Hemisphere blowing north curve east?
the criolis effect
Would winds have favored European explores seeking to travel east around the tip of Africa?
No it wouldn't have helped because of the Coriolis Effect. Remember that winds in the northern hemisphere turn to the right and the winds in the Southern Hemisphere turn to the left.
What would happen without the coriolis effect?
Without the Coriolis effect, air would simply flow from low pressure areas to high pressure areas. The Coriolis effect causes deflection in the global wind patterns.
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.

A hurricane with sustained winds of 122 mph would be a category 3.
Why is the greenhouse effect nessarcy?
Without the greenhouse effect we would be a cold dead planet. No life could exist.

If the earth ceased to rotate what would be the effect on winds?
Much the same as today - the global winds rise at the Equator and flow to the Poles, where they chill and flow north again.So in your non-spinning Earth, they would flow from the stationary hot spot, to the new cold spot on the opposite side of the earth, from where they would descend (due to gravity) and flow towards the hot spot again.[Gravity would be in effect, for soon a mountain of ice would rise at the new cold spot.]
What does a sustained effect mean?
Something that is 'sustained' lasts (prolonged for an extended period or without interruption) - therefore a sustained effect would be an effect that lasted.
What winds would Columbus have used to travel from Spain to the?
The Trade Winds.
Which winds would Christopher Columbus use to return to Europe?
it is the trade winds that brought Columbus ships to the Caribbean
