In which direction do winds in the northern and southern hemisphere curve?
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago
Winds in the northern hemisphere curve to the right due to the Coriolis effect, while winds in the Southern Hemisphere curve to the left. This is a result of the Earth's rotation causing moving objects to deflect to one side in each hemisphere.

In the Northern Hemisphere currents curve to the right because of the .?
Coriolis effect. It is a phenomenon that causes fluids, like air and water, to curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Earth's rotation.
In the Southern Hemisphere the Coriolanus effect causes winds to curve to the?
left. This is due to the rotation of the Earth causing a deflection in the direction of moving objects, including winds. In the Southern Hemisphere, this deflection results in winds curving to the left.
What In the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the?
right
In the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the?
right
Why does north hemisphere curve to the right?
The Coriolis effect causes objects moving in the Northern Hemisphere to be deflected to the right due to the Earth's rotation. This effect is a result of the rotation of the Earth on its axis and causes winds, ocean currents, and objects in motion to curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.
In what direction does the wind curve in the Southern Hemisphere?
To the left.
What direction do objects moving in the Southern Hemisphere curve?
To the north.
What direction does the Earths rotation make the prevailing winds curve?
The Earth's rotation affects all winds, prevailing or otherwise. In the northern hemisphere the Earth's rotation cause wind to curve to the right. It curves winds to the left in the southern hemisphere.
Why do wind curve to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere?
The Coriolis Effect, a consequence of Earth's rotation, causes this.
How do winds create currents?
Ocean currents in the northern hemisphere curve to the right and currents in the southern hemisphere curve to the left.Because the Earth rotates, currents do not travel in straightlines.
Northen Hemisphere. If you were positioned a bit further south would the curve traced out by the sun be higher or lower in the sky?
In the Northern Hemisphere the curve would be higher, in the Southern Hemisphere it would be lower.
Which way do winds turn in the southern hemisphere?
Winds curve/turn towards the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
Why do currents curve in the northern hemisphere?
the wind takes them
Do Southern Hemisphere surface currents curve to the left?
true
