∙ 11y agoI'm assuming you mean what causes the wind to change direction.
Wind is caused by unequal air pressure formed when the sun heats the earth's surface unevenly. As such, if one part of the earth is heated and another part isn't, the wind will blow from the former to the latter, regardless of the direction that is.

∙ 15y agowell this is caused by the wind, and when another current trys to flow into this one it is defflected off.

The deflection of wind due to the Coriolis effect is strongest at?
Poles
What is ferrels law?
Ferrel's law is the change in direction of prevaling winds when it comes to the equator. This deflection is caused by some random molecular motion due to the rise in temperature
What is a wave caused by?
A wave is caused by WIND!!!!!!!
Most surface waves are caused by?
Most surface waves are caused by wind. Tsunamis are formed by heat and circular wind motions. Tidal waves are caused by hurricanes with huge wind currents.
What are 3 things that affect surface ocean currents?
Wind, deflection from land, temperature differences between layers of cold and warm water.
Is it true that the increased cooling that a wind can cause is called the Coriolis effect?
No. The Coriolis effect is the deflection of wind and ocean currents caused by Earth's rotation. The increased cooling from wind is called wind chill.
The deflection of wind due to the Coriolis effect is strongest at?
Poles
Where is the deflection of wind due to the coriolis effect the strongest?
The poles
What caused deflection in rutherfords gold foil experiment?
The positively charged nucleus caused deflection. Positive charge is because of protons inside nucleus.
Enumerate differences between ballistic deflection and ballistic tilt in gravity controlled gyrocompass?
azimuth precesion caused by ballistic deflection. tilt precesion caused by ballistic tilt.
How do you use deflection in a sentence?
The deflection of the ball caused it to change direction. The politician used deflection to redirect attention away from the controversial issue. The deflection of the light off the mirror created a dazzling effect in the room.
What type of dune forms at the right angles to the wind when there is abundant sand a lack of vegetation and a constant wind deflection?
Barchan :)
What is the clockwise deflection of air in the Northern Hemisphere and the counterclockwise deflection of air in the Southern Hemisphere?
The deflection is to the right of the path of motion of the wind.
What is the medical term meaning any deflection on an EKG caused by electrical activity other than from the heart?
Artifact is the medical term for deflection on the EKG not originating the in heart.
Is wind energy caused by wind?
Yes. but it is rather caused by the the force and the direction of the wind.
Which earth system does the ocean interact with to form surface currents?
Surface currents are caused by the friction of wind on the water. The currents are also affected by the Coriolis Effect, which is the apparent deflection of objects moving in a straight path relative to the earth's surface.
What causes wind deflection from the North and South poles?
rotation of Earth on its axis=coriolis effect
