What produces the strongest Coriolis force?
The fastest rotation of the smallest radius does.
The earth's rotation influences currents by a force known as what?
Coriolis effect
What is the apparent force created by the earths rotation?
Coriolis force describes an apparent force that is due to the rotation of the earth. (From my meteorolgy textbook)
How much apparent deflection will there be for an air-born projectile moving due West or East along any Latitude due to the Coriolis force?
There is no deflection due to the Coriolis force for motion due West or East.
What is the name of the force that determines which way the wind will spiral in a hurricane?
The Coriolis effect.
Which scientists discovered that toys use the principle of centrifugal force?
G.G. Coriolis
What effect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The effect that a reduction in surface wind speed will have on the Coriolis force is to reduce the effect of the Coriolis force. Winds blowing at higher speeds are pulled on more by the Coriolis force, which somewhat alters the direction in which they blow.
What affect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The surface wind speed has no effect on the Coriolis Force. The Coriolis Force is dependant on the rotation of Earth that has the effect on surface wind and not the other way around
What is the effects produced by a force on a body?
coriolis
What force is responsible for wind?
The Coriolis Effect
What is the apparent force on the wind that is caused by the spin of the earth?
coriolis force
How does the Coriolis force effect modify air movement?
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects winds to the right. This causes hurricanes and typhoons to spin counterclockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects winds to the left. This causes hurricanes and typhoons to spin clockwise.
Why do hurricains turn in different directions above and below the equetor?
That's the Coriolis force - deviations in movement on a large scale, due to the Earth's rotation.That's the Coriolis force - deviations in movement on a large scale, due to the Earth's rotation.That's the Coriolis force - deviations in movement on a large scale, due to the Earth's rotation.That's the Coriolis force - deviations in movement on a large scale, due to the Earth's rotation.
What is the force that deflects wind?
The Coriolis effect is the force that deflects prevailing winds
What evidence can you give that the earth is rotating?
Coriolis force.
Are upper air winds unaffected by the coriolis force?
Only subtropical high pressure is affected by coriolis force whereas upper air winds (jetstreams) are not affected.
What influences the magnitude of the Coriolis force?
The earth's rotation rate, and the latitude at which the force is experienced.
