Is wind a force of the hydrosphere?
Wind is a force of the atmosphere. The equivalent force in the hydrosphere would be an ocean current.
The earth's rotation influences currents by a force known as what?
Coriolis effect
What measures wind direction and strength?
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
Wind scale on which the force of wind is indicated by a series of numbers?
The Beaufort scale.
Did the lateen sail decrease a sailer's dependence on the force of the wind or on the direction of the wind?
It reduced their dependence on the direction of the wind.
What forces influences upper air wind flow when a gradient wind is dominant?
Pressure gradient force and coriolis force.
What is the name of the force that causes wind to blow?
Air is set in motion by the Pressure Gradient Force. The Coriolis Force is also relevant, which acts on air once it has been sent into motion (wind) by the PGF. However, don't confuse this Coriolis Force as a force CAUSING wind to blow as it only influences wind direction and NEVER wind speed.
What direction influences the shape and size of a sand dune?
The wind influences the shape and size of a sand dune.
What are the forces on a airplane when it is still?
Gravity on the plane itself, the weight of any occupants (force of gravity on occupants), and any force applied by weather influences such as wind.
What is an instrument for measuring wind force?
You can measure wind force with force transducer.
What force most influences buoyancy force?
density of the buoyant fluid.
What influencences the shape and size of a sand dune?
The wind influences the shape and size of a sand dune.The wind.
Is wind a force of the hydrosphere?
Wind is a force of the atmosphere. The equivalent force in the hydrosphere would be an ocean current.
What influences your tides?
wind i think not a hundred percent sure anyway
What influences the magnitude of the Coriolis force?
The magnitude of the Coriolis force is influenced by the speed of the object, the latitude of the object, and the Earth's rotation rate. Objects moving faster or situated at higher latitudes will experience a greater Coriolis force.
How do sailboats sail into the wind?
Wind Force + Drag Force = Boat Mass * Acceleration.The wind force overcomes the drag force of the boat.Drag Force = Water Pressure * Keel Area + Air Pressure* Exposed Boat AreaMost of the drag is due to the keel moving through the water. The sails, lines, mast, crew and cargo also add wind resistance.Wind Force = Wind Pressure* Sail Area.The greater the wind pressure and the greater the area of the sail, the greater the wind force.
What are a marimba cultural influences?
The cultural influances are wind and Ghana funerals in Ghana.
