What causes the global convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
What causes the global air convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
How does the Coriolis effect cause?
The rotation causes the winds moving down from the poles to bend away from the equator..
Why are the winds moving toward the equator deflected to the left?
it is because of the earth's rotation. Spinning the winds to go west to east on the USA
Where does earth's greatest speed of rotation occur?
At the equator

Is jet streams cause by earth rotation?
Partially. The pressure difference between warm air near equator and cold air near arctic causes air to rise at equator travel north to arctic then down and south back to equator. The rotation of the earth bends that north-south belt - faster at the equator than at the slower rotation at arctic. The result of both is the jet stream.

What is the cause of the coriolis affect?
The earth is a rotating sphere. The further from the equator, the lower the speed of a point on the surface of the earth, and of the air above. This means that any air moving away from the equator is moving above earth faster than the earth beneath it. This causes the air to move east relative to the earth below it. This causes a clockwise rotation in the northern hemisphere, and an anti-clockwise one in the southern hemisphere.
What effect does the earth's rotation have on surface currents?
It causes them to deviate (different directions north and south of the equator) leading to the Coriolis effect.
Where does earth's greatest speed of rotation occur?
At the equator
What is the efect of rotation of the earth?
the rotation of earth causes day and night
Does then earth get fatter at the equator?
No, the Earth does not get fatter at the equator. The Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator. This bulge occurs due to the Earth's rotation, which causes a centrifugal force that pushes outward at the equator, resulting in the bulging shape. However, the overall mass of the Earth remains constant regardless of its shape.
What is the apparent curved path of moving object due to to the earth rotation?
An object that is stationary on the earth's surface moves in a small circle, unless it's on the equator when it moves in a great circle.
