Which term does not describe the surface air movement of a Northern Hemisphere low-pressure system?
divergent
Do surface currents move clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere?
no to the right
What is the ekman current?
Eckman currents are currents created by Eckman spiral which affects the currents' directions and velocities from the surface downward. The wind drives the water movement on the surface at 45 degree to the movement of the wind. Under Coriolis effect (effect caused by the earth rotation around its axis) the water moves to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left on the southern hemisphere. The deeper layer movement is affected by the layer right above it and moves slower. The net of water movement is 90 degree of the wind movement.
Why do major surface current gyres in the northern hemisphere flow clockwise?
The Coriolis effect causes northern gyres to spin clockwise.
What is everything above the equator called?
The northern hemisphere. The equator seperates the northern and southern hemisperes.
What does not describe the surface air movement of the Northern Hemisphere low?
divergent
What Does NOT describe the surface air movement of a Northern Hemisphere low?

Does divergent describe the surface air movement of a northern hemisphere low?
yes it does
What term does not describe the surface air movement of a Northern Hemisphere low-pressure system?

What Hemisphere is the Mediterranian sea on?
The Northern Hemisphere: the Northern Hemisphere, the half of the world's surface lying north of the
Which has more land area - the northern or southern hemisphere?
The Northern hemisphere has more land surface.
What does earths rotation cause surface in the northern hemisphere to do?
The longest season on the northern hemisphere is summer.
What direction do surface winds circulate in a high pressure system in the northern hemisphere?
They circulate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, and counter clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
What is different of northern hemisphere and Southern hemisphere?
The northern hemisphere consists of all the water and land surface that is north of the equator. It amounts to exactly half of the Earth's surface. The southern hemisphere consists of all the water and land surface that is south of the equator. It exactly covers the other half of the Earth's surface.
