What apparent curving of the paths of winds and ocean currents is the result of the rotation of the earth?

∙ 6y ago
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 occurs as result of convection currents?
currents caused by the motion of heated molecules
When the air in the atmosphere is unevenly warmed by the sun's what wind currents are the result'?
energy
The Sun heats Earth's atmosphere unevenly This causes convection currents to move in large circles in the atmosphere What is the result of convection currents in the atmosphere?
Study Island answer: Wind
What is a erusion Coast?
Erosion of the coast is simply the weathering or the removal of land in the beach as a result of waves. This can also be caused by the wave currents, tidal currents and also drainage.
The curving of the southeast trade winds is the result of what?
Rotation of earth.
Does the rotation of the earth affect azimuth and altitude?
The variation of the apparent azimuth and altitude of everything we see in the sky is the result of Earth's rotation.

What causes currents on the ocean?
Surface currents in the ocean are the continuous movements of water found at the surface to just a few feet below, these currents are generated by the planet's prevailing winds-which are a direct result of the Sun's radiation and Earth's rotation.
What causes the continuous flow of surface currents?
Surface currents in the ocean are the continuous movements of water found at the surface to just a few feet below. These currents are generated by the planet's prevailing winds-which are a direct result of the Sun's radiation and Earth's rotation.
