It causes them to deviate (different directions north and south of the equator) leading to the Coriolis effect.
What else can I help you with?
What is the effect of earths rotation of the direction of winds and currents called?
The Coriolis effect
What is the effect of earths rotation on the direction of winds and currents called?
The Coriolis effect
What causes surface ocean currents to flow in a circular pattern or earths revolution earths revolutoin or earths rotation?
Surface ocean currents flow in a circular pattern due to a combination of Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect) and the shape of the continents. The Coriolis effect causes water to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in the circular motion of currents. This, along with the shape of the coastlines, influences the direction and pattern of ocean currents.
What is the effects of earths rotation on the direction of the wind and currents?
It's called the 'coriolis' effect.
When the path of winds and ocean currents seem to curve because of the Earths rotation it is called the?
The Coriolis effect
How does earths rotation affects the patterns of surface currents?
Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which deflects surface currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This creates the circular patterns of surface currents in the oceans known as gyres. These gyres help transport heat and nutrients around the planet, influencing global climate and marine ecosystems.
How do earthquake activity change the earths surface?
By slowing down the earths rotation but will not make effect to humans .
What is the effect of rotation of earth?
The earths rotation causes day and night, wind, tides and ocean currents and its also responsible for the different seasons.
When the paths of winds and ocean currents seem to curve because of earths rotation it's called the?
The Coriolis effect
When the paths of wind and ocean currents curve because of earths rotation it's called the?
Coriolis effect and your mom
What effects of the earths rotation on the direction of winds and currents is called what?
The effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and ocean currents is known as the Coriolis effect. This phenomenon causes moving air and water to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Earth's rotation.
What is the cause of most surface currents?
Surface currents are primarily caused by the wind, which transfers its energy to the ocean's surface through friction. The rotation of the Earth also influences the direction of these currents through the Coriolis effect.
