Does global winds curve because of the earth's rotation?
yes
Why do the winds curve to the East between 30-60 degrees?
The Coriolis effect is the apparent curvature of global winds, ocean currents, and everything else that moves freely across the Earth's surface. The curvature is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. ... Between thirty and sixty degrees latitude, the winds that move toward the poles appear to curve to the east.
The winds that blow from the pole to 60 degrees latitude in both hemisphere are called?
The winds that blow between the poles and 60° latitudes in both hemispheres and curve West are called what
What causes global winds and currents to curve in a circular pattern?
The curved paths of global winds and surface currents are caused by warm air near the equator.
What makes global winds curve rather than move in straight lines?
That's the result of the spinning of the Earth. If the Earth didn't spin, then air would head directly into the center of low pressure, and directly out of the center of high pressure.
What makes global winds curve?
Coriolis force causes global winds to curve. As winds move north or south, they are deflected due to the rotation of the Earth. They curve to the west.
Why do the global winds curve like they do?
Global winds are caused by unequal heating of the Earth's surface and they curve because... If the Earth did not rotate, Global Winds would not curve. They would be straight as a line. So because of EARTH'S ROTATION, global winds curve.
Why do global winds curve as they blow from one part of the Earth's surface to another?
The winds curve because of the rotation of the Earth.
Why do currents and winds curve?
no u did not anser my qustion
How does the corilis effect affect the wind movement?
because of the coriolis effect in the northern hemisphere, winds travling north curve to the east and winds travaling to the south curve to the west.
Which way do winds turn in the southern hemisphere?
Winds curve/turn towards the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
Does global winds curve because of the earth's rotation?
yes
What direction does the Earths rotation make the prevailing winds curve?
The Earth's rotation affects all winds, prevailing or otherwise. In the northern hemisphere the Earth's rotation cause wind to curve to the right. It curves winds to the left in the southern hemisphere.
In the northern hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes Winds curve to the?
right
Why Surface winds tend to curve?
Because of the rotation of the earth and the shape
In the Southern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the .?

In the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the .?
