What causes winds in the Northern Hemisphere to curve at the right as they move?
Axial tilt of the wart moving, or the Coriolis Effect.
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 the effect of the earths daily rotation?
day and night occer
In what direction does the force produced by the Coriolis effect act?
The Coriolis effect is an apparent deflection of moving objects when they are viewed from a rotating reference frame. Perhaps the most commonly encountered rotating reference frame is the Earth. Moving objects on the surface of the Earth experience a Coriolis force, and appear to veer to the right in the northern hemisphere, and to the left in the southern. Exactly on the equator, motion east or west, remains (precariously) along the line of the equator. Initial motion of a pendulum in any other direction will lead to a motion in a loop. Movements of air in the atmosphere and water in the ocean are notable examples of this behavior: rather than flowing directly from areas of high pressure to low pressure, as they would on a non-rotating planet, winds and currents tend to flow to the right of this direction north of the equator, and to the left of this direction south of the equator. This effect is responsible for the rotation of large cyclones.
Why do the toilets flush counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere?
Here is a simple definition of the "coriolis effect" from Wikipedia: Perhaps the most commonly encountered rotating reference frame is the Earth. Moving objects on the surface of the Earth experience a Coriolis force, and appear to veer to the right in the northern hemisphere, and to the left in the southern. Movements of air in the atmosphere and water in the ocean are notable examples of this behavior: rather than flowing directly from areas of high pressure to low pressure, as they would on a non-rotating planet, winds and currents tend to flow to the right of this direction north of the equator, and to the left of this direction south of the equator
How does the coriolis effect influences winds?
The Coriolis effect causes an air mass moving from the North Pole to the equator to bend to the west, or turn toward the right. In the Southern Hemisphere the opposite happens.
How does the winds effect the coriolis effect?
The Coriolis effect causes an air mass moving from the North Pole to the equator to bend to the west, or turn toward the right. In the Southern Hemisphere the opposite happens.
What directions does the Coriolis effect cause winds to turn in the Northern Hemisphere versus in the Southern Hemisphere?
The coriolis effect is the apparent curve of a straight moving object (it turns to the Right in the Northern Hempishere). The coriolis effect is caused by different rotation speeds.
How does the Coriolis effect influence?
The Coriolis effect causes an air mass moving from the North Pole to the equator to bend to the west, or turn toward the right. In the Southern Hemisphere the opposite happens.
What causes winds in the Northern Hemisphere to curve at the right as they move?
Axial tilt of the wart moving, or the Coriolis Effect.
What effect Deflects moving particles such as air to the right above the equator?
Coriolis effect
In the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the?
right
What effect causes ocean currents to curve to the right or the left?
the answer is Coriolis
In the northern hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes Winds curve to the?
right
In the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the .?
right
Why does north hemisphere curve to the right?
The Coriolis effect causes objects moving in the Northern Hemisphere to be deflected to the right due to the Earth's rotation. This effect is a result of the rotation of the Earth on its axis and causes winds, ocean currents, and objects in motion to curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.
In the northern hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the what?
The coriolis force is strongest at the poles
