Which equinox occurs in september in the northern hemisphere?
The fall equinox occurs in September in the Northern Hemisphere.
In the northern hemisphere the sun sets in the what?
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun apparently rises in the east and sets in the west. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is the other way around. The Sun rises in the west and sets in the east. Note that the Sun does not actually move, it is Earth that makes it appear to move.
What is it called when the paths of winds and ocean currents seem to curve because of the earths rotation?
It's called the 'Coriolis effect'. In the northern hemisphere, they rotate clockwise. South of the equator, they rotate counter-clockwise.
In the Northern Hemisphere the westerly winds blow from the southwest and drive the water beneath them to the?
If westerly winds blow from the southwest, they would drive water beneath them to the north. If the winds blew directly west, the wind would drive water currents directly east.
Is the equader someting to do with the hemisphere?
The Equator, the imaginary line like a belt round the Earth, divides the world into two hemispheres. the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere
Which way do currents move in the northern hemisphere southern hemisphere?
Currents in the Northern Hemisphere move in a clockwise direction. Currents in the Southern Hemisphere move in a counter clockwise direction.
What direction do currents flow in the northern hemisphere?
left
What direction do the ocean currents move in the northern hemisphere?
clockwise
What direction do surface currents move?
The surface currents move in a clockwise direction in the Northern hemisphere, and move in a counter clockwise direction in the Southern hemisphere! Hope it helped:)
Which way do currents rotate in the southern hemisphere?
The gyres rotate counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and clockwise in the northern hemisphere.
Describe the “clock” direction of surface currents in the Northern Hemisphere.?
The Coriolis effect shifts surface currents by angles of about 45 degrees. In the Northern Hemisphere, ocean currents are deflected to the right, in a clockwise motion. In the Southern Hemisphere, ocean currents are pushed to the left, in a counterclockwise motion.
In which direction does the coriolis effect cause currents in the northern hemisphere to turn?
it's to the right.
What direction do the ocean currents move in the southern hemisphere?
In the southern hemisphere, ocean currents generally move clockwise due to the Coriolis effect, which is the result of Earth's rotation. This means that currents tend to move to the left in the southern hemisphere. However, specific ocean currents may have variations in their flow direction based on local topography and wind patterns.
Do currents in the northern hemisphere flow clockwise?
Yes, in the northern hemisphere the currents flow clockwise.
Which are cold water currents northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere?
Cold water currents are found in both the northern and southern hemispheres. However, in the northern hemisphere, some well-known cold water currents include the California Current and the Canary Current. In the southern hemisphere, examples include the Benguela Current and the Peru Current.
In what direction do cold currents generally flow in the northern hemisphere?
Cold currents generally flow towards the equator. (a.k.a. south).
Why do large land areas cause surface currents to change direction?
because the surface currents move in huge circles ,they move clockwise in the northern hemisphere
