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.
When the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun what season is it in Australia?
When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the southern hemisphere (where Australia is found) is tilted away. This means the sun's rays hit at a much shallower angle. That is what causes winter.
Westerly Winds in the Southern Hemisphere blow from?
The rotation of Earth causes all Southern Hemisphere winds to be deflected to the
Why in December the northern hemisphere experiences winter and in June it experiences summer?
The Tilt On The Earths Axis Which Causes Seasons
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 causes earth to have a northern and a southern hemisphere?
the earth's axis
Why are there tornadoes in the southern hemisphere?
Tornadoes form in the southern hemisphere for the same reason they form in the northern hemisphere. The mechanics are the same. See the related question for what causes tornadoes
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.
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 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
What causes seasons to change in the northern and southern hemisphere as the earth revolves the sun?
earth rotation on axis
What causes cyclonic circulation?
The flow of air into a low pressure cell is called cyclonic. Cyclonic circulation is counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. The flow of air into a high pressure cell is called anti-cyclonic. Anticyclonic circulation is clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
What causes seasons to change in the northern and southern hemisphere's as the earth revolves around the sun?
The tilt of the earth's axis.
What causes the difference between the northern and southern hemispheres?
The difference betweeen the northern and southern hemispheres is that the both hemispheres have opposite seasons. For example: In January the northern hemisphere is winter is is tilted away from the sun and it gets alot of less direct sunlight and in the southern hemisphere it's summer and it is tilted toward the sun.
When the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun what season is it in Australia?
When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the southern hemisphere (where Australia is found) is tilted away. This means the sun's rays hit at a much shallower angle. That is what causes winter.
What is the coralis effect?
Coriolis effectHurricane Andrew hurtles northwest over the Florida coastline in August 1992, its spiral shape evident in this infrared satellite photo. Like water draining through an outlet, hurricanes spin clockwise in the northern hemisphere and anticlockwise in the southern - a manifestation of the Coriolis effect.Effect of the Earth's rotation on the atmosphere, oceans, and theoretically all objects moving over the Earth's surface. In the northern hemisphere it causes moving objects and currents to be deflected to the right; in the southern hemisphere it causes deflection to the left. The effect is named after its discoverer, French mathematician Gaspard de Coriolis (1792-1843).
How does the amount of sun light change in summer than winter?
The earth isn't perfectly straight up and down. It leans on an axis. So in the Northern Hemisphere between May-August tilts towards the sun and the Southern Hemisphere tilts away from the sun. This causes summer in the Northern Hemisphere because being closer to the sun helps to increase the temperature on Earth and the southern hemisphere experieces winter due to being farther from the sun. The opposite is true for winter in the Northern Hemisphere and Summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
