Do surface currents move clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere?
no to the right
Why do major surface current gyres in the northern hemisphere flow clockwise?
The Coriolis effect causes northern gyres to spin clockwise.
What is everything above the equator called?
The northern hemisphere. The equator seperates the northern and southern hemisperes.
Which term does not describe the surface air movement of a Northern Hemisphere low-pressure system?
divergent
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
What Hemisphere is the Mediterranian sea on?
The Northern Hemisphere: the Northern Hemisphere, the half of the world's surface lying north of the
What does earths rotation cause surface in the northern hemisphere to do?
The longest season on the northern hemisphere is summer.
Which has more land area - the northern or southern hemisphere?
The northern hemisphere has more land area compared to the southern hemisphere. About 68.3% of the Earth's land area is located in the northern hemisphere.
What direction do surface winds circulate in a high pressure system in the northern hemisphere?
They circulate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, and counter clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
What is different of northern hemisphere and Southern hemisphere?
The main difference between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres is their climates, with the Northern Hemisphere experiencing the opposite seasons as the Southern Hemisphere due to its tilt toward or away from the sun. Additionally, the patterns of ocean currents and prevailing winds differ between the two hemispheres, influencing weather patterns and ecosystems. Astronomically, the Northern Hemisphere is where the North Pole is located, while the Southern Hemisphere is where the South Pole is situated.
Does surface currents move counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere?
yes
Which way does the surface currents in the northern hemisphere flow?
In the northern hemisphere, the surface currents generally flow in a clockwise direction due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation. This means they move to the right of the wind direction in the northern hemisphere.
Why is Earth's surface warmer in the north hemisphere it is summer there?
The earth surface is warmer in the northern hemisphere when it issummer there because of the angle of the sun. For the same reason,the Earth's surface is warmer in the southern hemisphere when it isSummer there.
What is each half of the of earths surface called?
To the north of the equator is the northern hemisphere, and to the south is the southern hemisphere.
What term does not describe the surface air movement of a Northern Hemisphere low-pressure system?
Clockwise and anticyclonic are words which do NOT apply to northern hemisphere lows.
What deflects surface winds to the right in the northern hemisphere?
Coriolis Force
What does not describe the surface air movement of the Northern Hemisphere low?
divergent
