What factor determine the location and size and shape and direction of the surface current gyres?
Four factors that determine the location, size, shape, and direction of a gyre are wind, gravity, Coriolis Effect, and topography.
What factors combine to control wind?
pressure differences, coriolis effect, friction
Which of these three choices Pressure gradient forces or Coriolis Effect or Humidity has the smallest impact on winds?
Coriolis Effect
What is the primary mechanism which causes surface currents?
The Coriolis Effect
What is the word origin for Coriolis Effect?
It originated from the early 20th century. It was named after Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843), a French engineer.
Coriolis effect global winds and continental deflections are all factors that control?
Coriolis effect global winds and continental deflections are all factors that control surface currents.
The apparent curving of the winds is called?
the Coriolis effect
What factor determine the location and size and shape and direction of the surface current gyres?
Four factors that determine the location, size, shape, and direction of a gyre are wind, gravity, Coriolis Effect, and topography.
What factors combine to control wind?
pressure differences, coriolis effect, friction
What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
Why did Gaspard Gustave Coriolis named his invention the Coriolis effect?
his name was coriolis ,so coriolis effect.
What are the 3 factors of surface currents?
continental deflections,global winds, coriolis effect
Three factors combine to control wind?
pressure differences, coriolis effect, friction
What apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the earth rotation?
Coriolis effect
A sentence with coriolis effect?
i learned Coriolis effect in school.
What are three factors that controles surface currents?
global winds, Coriolis effect, and continental deflection
How does the ocean flows?
It Flows with the coriolis effect. It Flows with the coriolis effect.
