How will a wind blowing to the north in the northern hemisphere be affected by the corioli affect?
It will bend to the west
Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?
Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.
What is the main affect the moon has on earth?
The moon stabilizes earth tilt on its axis. Without this the earth's north pole would deviate back and forth over thousands of years. It would even go as far as rolling over 90 degrees causing the entire southern hemisphere to freeze while creating jungles in Antarctica
How does the coriolis effect affect astronauts in space?
Because astronauts orbiting the earth rotate around it much faster than the rest of us (once every 90 minutes or so rather than once a day) the effect of the Coriolis effect would be correspondingly stronger. Ordinarily, this force would still be too weak for astronauts to notice. However, because astronauts feel "zero gravity" (because they are falling towards the earth at the same rate as their ship) there are some situations in which the Coriolis effect might be more obvious to them; for example, objects floating in midair might slowly float back and forth* with a period equal to the ship's orbit time. *Technical discussion follows* Objects would actually follow elliptical or sinusoidal paths, and this floating effect would actually be a combination of three different effects: the Coriolis effect, along with the "centrifugal force", and the actual gravity of the earth. Whereas the Coriolis force depends on the velocity of a moving object, the last two effects vary slightly according to the radial distance from the center of the earth, and would therefore be most noticeable above or below the center of gravity of the spacecraft. For example, an astronaut resting above the spacecraft's center of mass would first begin falling (very slowly) towards the earth due to the decrease in centrifugal force with greater turning radius. Once moving, the astronaut would be affected by the Coriolis force, and pushed (very slowly) towards the front end of the spacecraft. Maximum drift speeds wouldn't exceed 1 cm/s for the even the largest rooms in the international space station. That said, I'm not an astronaut, and I don't know if astronauts have ever noticed this faint effect or not. I just did the math.
How the sunspot affect the earth?
The primary affect on the Earth is on our ionosphere
How does Coriolis Effect affect currents?
Currents don't affect the Coriolis Effect, the Coriolis Effect is the one who affects the currents. Currents in the Northern Hemisphere bend to the left and currents in the Southern Hemisphere bend to the right.
How does currents affect the coriolis effect?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
How would the Coriolis effect affect winds flowing from the equator to the poles?
It deflects wind to the right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern hemisphere.
How is the Coriolis affect different based on the hemisphere?
The Coriolis Effect is an apparent deflection of moving objects when they are viewed from a rotating reference frame. 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 hemisphere.
How does the Coriolis force effect modify air movement?
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects winds to the right. This causes hurricanes and typhoons to spin counterclockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects winds to the left. This causes hurricanes and typhoons to spin clockwise.
How does the Coriolis Effect affect the direction of weather patterns on earth?
Although the coriolis effect affects the 2 hemispheres by making them move in a circular motion. It affect the northern hemisphere by making it move in a right circular motion and the southern the other way.
How do currents spin in the northern hemisphere?
they spin to the right caused by the coriolis affect
How does earth's atmosphere affect its rotation?
The atmosphere doesn't affect the earth's rotation, however the earth's rotation generates the Coriolis force which deflects wind to the left in the southern hemisphere and right in the northern hemisphere. Unless you're talking about things like atmospheric angular momentum exchange induced by frictional and mountain torque, but I'm guessing not...
A condition where winds deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and the left in the Southern Hemisphere?
Coreolis affect
What influences the direction in which the wind moves?
Wind flows from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. The Coriolis effect influences wind direction by deflecting its path to the right in the Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere.
How does the coriolis effect affect air masses from north pole toward equator?
moves most of them from the sw to ne. (always curving right in the northern hemisphere.)
How does weather affect summer Olympics in southern hemisphere?
When its snowing its cold you cant do the olympics
