When winds blow parallel to isobars what kind of wind is it?
When winds blow parallel to isobars, it is called geostrophic wind. This wind results from the balance of the pressure gradient force and the Coriolis force acting on the air. Geostrophic winds are typically found at high altitudes and are commonly seen in the upper atmosphere.
How many major winds are there?
There are 3 global winds per hemisphere, so 6 in total. The 3 global winds are the: easterlies, which move from east to west. westerlies, which move from west to east. and the trade winds, which also moves from the east to west.
What force generates winds?
sintreificle force
Sometimes during the cold winter months sudden warm winds blow down the eastern slopes of the cascades what are three warm winds called?
There are 3 types of warm winds. The 3 warm winds are called down-slope, dry and foehn.
What category would a hurricane with 120 mph winds be?
A hurricane with 120 mph winds would be classified as a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Category 3 hurricanes are considered major hurricanes and have the potential to cause extensive damage.
What is the force that deflects prevailing winds?
The Coriolis effect is the force that deflects prevailing winds
How many miles an hour equal hurricane force winds?
Hurricane force winds are 74 mph or greater.
Is 70 miles per hour considered hurricane force winds?
No, though it is close. Winds of 74 mph or greater are considered hurricane force.
Is there any force in a tornado?
Yes. The winds of a tornado carry an enormous amount of force. That is why they are so destructive. The winds themselves are driven by a pressure gradient.
What force creates winds?
Winds are created by the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. The pressure gradient force, along with the Coriolis effect and friction, all contribute to the formation of winds in the atmosphere.
What is the force that deflects wind?
The Coriolis effect is the force that deflects prevailing winds
When the pressure gradient force is balanced and winds blow parallel to the isobar it is called?
geostophic winds
Why do katabatic winds affect Antarctica?
Katabatic winds can howl across the continent, down the polar plateau, and achieve hurricane force. These winds move ice crystals around the continent and sometimes force scientists to remain indoors until the winds subside.
What are 3 planetary winds?
the trade winds,the westerlies,the polar winds
What erosional force can make sand dunes?
The force of winds shapes sand dunes.
Are upper air winds unaffected by the coriolis force?
Only subtropical high pressure is affected by coriolis force whereas upper air winds (jetstreams) are not affected.
What are the types of local winds?
1.synoptic winds 2.gradint winds 3.prevailing winds 4.geostrophic winds
