What else can I help you with?
Which deflects winds to the west to east?
Coriolis effect
Which deflects winds to the west or east?
The Coriolis effect deflects winds; it makes winds in the Northern Hemisphere deflect to the right (east) and winds in the Southern Hemisphere deflect to the left (west).
What deflects the wind to east or west?
The Coriolis Effect.
What is the force that deflects prevailing winds?
The Coriolis effect is the force that deflects prevailing winds
What are winds called when they blow from east to west?
Winds blowing east to west or west to east are referred to as zonal winds
What direction do the winds on the equator blow is east to west?
east to west
An effect that causes the prevailing winds to blow diagnolly rather than on strict north south or east west lines?
The Coriolis effect is responsible for causing prevailing winds to blow diagonally instead of strictly north-south or east-west. This effect occurs due to the Earth's rotation, which deflects the winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, leading to a diagonal flow.
What is the force that deflects wind?
The Coriolis effect is the force that deflects prevailing winds
How many major winds are there?
There are 3 global winds per hemisphere, so 6 in total. The 3 global winds are the: easterlies, which move from east to west. westerlies, which move from west to east. and the trade winds, which also moves from the east to west.
Do California winds generally blow from east to west?
No, it blows from west to east.
What winds blow from west to east?
the trade winds
Does the earths rotation make prevailing winds go north and south or east and west?
Prevailing winds move from North to South because cold, dense air in the poles moves towards the equator where it is warmer (it moves from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure). Because of the Earth's rotation, it causes air moving towards the poles to curve to the east and wind moving away from the poles to curve to the west.
