The Coriolis force. It's basically because the lower latitudes are "moving faster" than the higher ones.

What creates a force when a flag moves back and forth?
the wind moves the flag
How wind makes windmill move?
Wind moves the blades in the direction that it is blowing.
Why do wind turbines spin?
Because the wind moves the blades witch causes the turban to go
Does wind generate thunder?
Wind only moves clouds. Thunders are generated by the clouds' density.
What an instrument that moves to show which way the is blowing from?
a wind vane
Why are wind appear to curve?
the curve because the power of the wind is making it move in a curved path
What causes wind to follow a curved path over earth's surface?
condensation
A violent whirling wind that moves in a narrow path over land is a?
tornado
Which is a violent whirling wind that moves over a narrow path on land?
tornado
What is a violent whirling wind that moves in a narrow path over land called?
Tornado
What causes currents in open water to move in a curved path rather than a strait one?
simply the coriollis efect
What is it called when the earth makes wind blow in a curve?
Its the Coriolis effect. In fact, the wind is trying to blow straight and the earth is turning under it in a circular motion. The resulting path of the wind on the earth is a curved line.
How does differences in air pressure puts air in motion?
The difference in air pressure causes wind, air motion, because the greater the pressure difference the faster wind moves. Warm air is less dense, it moves toward or up to the poles. at the poles it will sink and the cold air will go to the equator creating the moment of of air.
What is wind formed as cold sinking air moves from the poles to 60 degrees north to 60 degrees south latitude?
polar easterlies
Do wind currents flow faster at the equator or the poles?
At the poles.
Can you use poles in a sentence?
Here is an example sentence with the word "poles":I stared at the flamboyant flags, flapping swiftly in the wind on the poles towering over me.And just for a bit of a laugh:If people from Poland are called "Poles" why aren't people from Holland called "Holes"?
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.
