They cause a rippling effect on the water which increases the size of the swell therefore the tide coming further in land

How is the formation of global winds and small scale winds similar?
Winds are caused by differences in air pressure, winds move from high to low pressure. Has something to do with the coriolis effect.:]
What is the effect of local winds?
They effect the weather and all who is around it
At which location does the coriolis force have the least effect on wind?
The Coriolis effect has the least effect on winds in equatorial regions and the most effect on winds in polar regions. Coriolis effect deflects winds to the right of their initial direction in the northern hemisphere and left of their initial direction in the southern hemisphere.
What are high speed winds and high altitudes known as?
I think it is winds,speed, and altitude
How do skyscarpers withstand strong winds earthquakes and high winds?
high winds and seismic activity are both taken into account when they are designed
What is the effect of Himalayas?
the mountains save us from high winds.

What effect do high winds have on flying animals?
slow winds will help them to fly better but high velocity of wind will hamper flight eventually making it infeasible
Why do southerly winds occur on a trailing side of a high pressure region?
because in the south, Winds only tail on the side of a high pressure region because of the Coriolis effect and the earths rotation.
What type surface winds are between the subtropical high pressure and sub polar low pressure zones?
In the northern hemisphere, winds associated with a high-pressure system blow clockwise towards the center.
What Are Extreme Winds?
Very Very High Winds. Very Strong Winds Very Very High Winds. Very Strong Winds
What has the greatest effect on humidity?
prevailing winds
How are winds affected by areas of high pressure?
In zones where air ascends, the air is less dense than its surroundings and this creates a center of low pressure. Winds blow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, and so the surface winds would tend to blow toward a low pressure center. In zones where air descends back to the surface, the air is more dense than its surroundings and this creates a center of high atmospheric pressure. Since winds blow from areas ofhigh pressureto areas oflow pressure, winds spiral outward away from the high pressure. The Coriolis Effect deflects air toward the right in the northern hemisphere and creates a general clockwise rotation around the high pressure center. In the southern hemisphere the effect is just the opposite, and winds circulate in a counterclockwise rotation about the high pressure center. Such winds circulating around a high pressure center are calledanticyclonic windsand around a low pressure area they are calledcyclonic winds.
What is anticyclone winds?
Anticyclonic winds are centers of high atmospheric pressure.
What is the effect of local winds?
They effect the weather and all who is around it
