Air masses moving in the northern hemisphere are turned westward from there original paths in the Westernlies.


What causes global winds and currents to curve in a circular pattern?

The curved paths of global winds and surface currents are caused by warm air near the equator.


When was The Paths of the Perambulator created?

The Paths of the Perambulator was created in 1985.


Why are the equator and the prime meridian so important?

If there was no equator, how would we know exactly where the Northern Hemisphere is split by the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa? Ultimately we would have to take an imaginary guess but it is the center of the earth and I believe that that is why it is important for navigational purposes as well.


How does the heat travel from the oven to the cake?

A combination of heat paths will be in effect within an oven. The main method of heat transportation will be radiation from the oven heating element to the surface of the cake which will heat the outer surface of the cake. Conduction will them allow this heat to transfer to the interior of the cake via contact paths between each molecule of cake mixture. Conduction will also occur between any air particles which are in direct contact with the heating element, and should they then come into contact with the surface of the cake conduction will again take place between the heated air particle and the surface of the cake. Convection will of course take place in the oven as well.

What happens on earth when it rotate on its axis?

On the surface of the planet, we experience day and night, as the Sun seems to move across the sky from east to west. This is actually the Earth spinning counterclockwise, west to east, as viewed from a point above the North Pole. Since the Earth is moving fastest at the equator, moving objects are affected by the rotation as they move toward or away from the equator. Their paths seem to turn to the right (north of the equator) or left (south of the equator), but these are actually straight paths that curve as the Earth spins. This is called the Coriolis effect.


How many paths are in a parallel circuits?

At least two paths. Current will divide between them according to their relative impedances.

What the difference between convergent and divergent?

Two paths which are convergent will come together in the distance. Two paths which are divergent will get further and further apart in the distance.

What is direct diffusion?

Directed diffusion is a query-based protocol where a query is flooded in the network by the sink where multiple routes are established between the sink and source. The sink reinforces one of the paths and receives data in a shorter interval through this reinforced path.
