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 the moving air and water to turn right in the Coriolis Effect?
When i goes over the surface of the Earth it appears to veer right into a Coriolis Effect in the Northern Hemisphere
Which way is the northern hemisphere tilted during the summer?
i think to the right
Right half of moon is illuminated.?
When the right half of the moon is illuminated it would be called first quarter. (That's when you see the Moon from the northern hemisphere.)
What is the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere?
Winter solstice in the northern hemisphere is usually December 21st, or right close to it. The shortest day fell on December 22nd in 2007 and 2011, as it will also in 2015 and 2019.

What causes surface ocean currents to curve to the right in the northern hemisphere?
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.
When the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the?
right. This leads to a clockwise rotation in high pressure systems and counterclockwise rotation in low pressure systems. The Coriolis effect is a result of the Earth's rotation impacting the movement of fluids and winds on its surface.
What In the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the?
right
In the northern hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the what?
The coriolis force is strongest at the poles
How do winds create currents?
Ocean currents in the northern hemisphere curve to the right and currents in the southern hemisphere curve to the left.Because the Earth rotates, currents do not travel in straightlines.
How does the rotation of earth modifies ocean currents in the northern hemisphere?
because of the Earths rotation the ocean currents are not in straight lines. In the northern hemisphere they curve to the right
How does the rotation of earth modify ocean currents in the northern hemisphere?
because of the Earths rotation the ocean currents are not in straight lines. In the northern hemisphere they curve to the right
Is it true or false that in the northern hemisphere surface currents curve to the left?
False. In the northern hemisphere, surface currents generally curve to the right due to the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth, which deflects moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere.
