What else can I help you with?
The apparent curving of the winds is called?
the Coriolis effect
What is the name of the effect that causes wind to spin around large pressure areas?
The name of the effect is called the Coriolis effect. It causes winds to curve rather than moving in a straight line due to the rotation of the Earth.
Are Winds are turned to the right in the Northern Hemisphere?
yes they are =^_^=
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.
How does the coriolis effect affect surface currents?
By, instead of a straight current, makes the current curved due to the Coriolis Effect.
The apparent curving of the winds is called?
the Coriolis effect
What would happen without the coriolis effect?
Without the Coriolis effect, winds would move in a straight line from high pressure to low pressure areas, rather than being deflected as seen on Earth's surface. This effect is crucial in shaping global wind patterns and ocean currents, impacting weather systems and climate around the world.
What apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the earth rotation?
Coriolis effect
What are the calm areas around the Earth called?
The Coriolis effect and other factors combine to produce a pattern of calm areas and wide belts around earth. The calm areas include the doldrums and the horse latitudes. The major global wind belts are the trade winds, the prevailing westerlies, and the polar easterlies.
How does the ocean flows?
It Flows with the coriolis effect. It Flows with the coriolis effect.
What is the name of the effect that causes wind to spin around large pressure areas?
The name of the effect is called the Coriolis effect. It causes winds to curve rather than moving in a straight line due to the rotation of the Earth.
How does wind blow in the northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, wind is deflected to the right due to the Coriolis effect. This means that winds tend to blow in a clockwise direction around areas of high pressure and counterclockwise around areas of low pressure. The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth.
Why did Gaspard Gustave Coriolis named his invention the Coriolis effect?
Gaspard Gustave Coriolis named his invention the Coriolis effect after himself because he was the first to mathematically describe the phenomenon in fluid dynamics. His work on the effect, which explains the deflection of moving objects on a rotating planet, has since become a fundamental concept in meteorology and oceanography.
What is the name of one cell that forms because of the Coriolis effect?
The Coriolis Effect is the phenomenon that effects global winds. A convection cell is a form of wind and this is the first part of the coriolis effect.
What is the deflection of air masses resulting from earths eastwards rotation?
The Coriolis Effect is responsible for this.
Does the Coriolis effect make a tornado start to rotate?
No. Tornadoes are too small for the Coriolis effect to influence them.
What effect is spinning water?
Coriolis Effect.
