What causes planetary winds to deflect when they blow from north to south?
The Coriolis Effect
How does the Coriolis effect cause?
The rotation causes the winds moving down from the poles to bend away from the equator..
Why do major surface current gyres in the northern hemisphere flow clockwise?
The Coriolis effect causes northern gyres to spin clockwise.
This effect causes winds to turn westward in the lower northern hemisphere?
Coriolis or Coriolis effect
How does the sun make seasons?
The Sun does nothing except shine on the Earth, hitting the Equator approximately directly from above. It is the tilting of the Earth on its axis, as it orbits round the Sun, that causes the seasons. For instance: when the northern hemisphere tilts towards the Sun, it is Summer in the northern hemisphere and Winter in the southern hemisphere. Eventually, the southern hemisphere has its turn of tilting towards the Sun, and it is Summer in the southern hemisphere and Winter in the northern hemisphere.

What causes winter in the northern hemisphere?
the earths sourthern hemisphere tilts to the sun

What causes the beginning of summer and winter in the northern hemisphere?
WHEN TH SUN TILTS TOWARD THE SOUTHERNHEMISPERE IT GIVES YOU WINTERAnswer 2:Actually the sun does not tilt.The earth axis does, though.
Why do wind curve to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere?
The Coriolis Effect, a consequence of Earth's rotation, causes this.
What is a coriolis in a hurricane?
This is the effect of the spinning earth on the axis. It cause Tropical storms to rotate anti clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. It also causes the track of the Hurricane to bend to the right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern hemisphere.
What effect causes winds to turn westward in the lower northern hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect.
What causes surface ocean currents to curve to the right in the northern hemisphere?
Coriolis effect
What causes moving air and water to move clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere due to Earth's what?
its rotation
