Does the coriolis effect on the direction you are sailing?
Yes!
At which location does the coriolis force have the least effect on wind?
The Coriolis effect has the least effect on winds in equatorial regions and the most effect on winds in polar regions. Coriolis effect deflects winds to the right of their initial direction in the northern hemisphere and left of their initial direction in the southern hemisphere.
What causes the coriolis?
The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the earth.
What causes hurricanes to move in a certain direction?
The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth and the inertia of the mass experiencing the effect. Newton's laws of motion govern the motion of an object in a (non accelerating) inertial frame of reference. Counter clockwise northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern.
What is The Coriolis effect refers to a change in direction caused by?
The coriolis effect describes the earth spinning on its axis. This is best explained using a military example. A sniper must take the coriolis effect into account when making long shots because as the bullet travels through the air, the earth spins beneath it leaving everything not in contact with the earth in the same spot it was in; making it seem like it curved slightly. Compensation for this is incredibly complicated.
What apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the earth rotation?
Coriolis effect
What changes the direction of airflow and is caused by earths rotation?

Coriolis effect
Is Coriolis effect caused by tornadoes?
No, the Coriolis effect is caused by Earth's rotation.
The apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the earth's rotation is called?
The Coriolis effect
The apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the earths rotation is called the?
Coriolis effect
Does the coriolis effect on the direction you are sailing?
Yes!
What apparent curving of the paths of winds and ocean currents is the result of the rotation of the earth?
The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth and the inertia of the mass experiencing the effect. This force causes moving objects on the surface of the earth to be deflected in a clockwise sense (with respect to the direction of travel) in the Northern Hemisphere and in a counter-clockwise sense in the Southern Hemisphere.
What is the cause of global wind belts?
Its caused by the combination of pressure belts and the Coriolis effect.
