How do winds move when moving north in the northern hemisphere?
Winds in the Northern Hemisphere are deflected to the right due to the Coriolis effect. This means that when moving north, winds tend to veer towards the east. This is why winds in the Northern Hemisphere generally flow in a clockwise direction around areas of high pressure.
Why are the south westerly prevailing winds the warmest?
Southwesterly prevailing winds are warm because they originate from warm tropical regions and carry that warmth as they move towards the poles. Additionally, these winds tend to pick up moisture from the ocean, which helps retain heat and raises temperatures further.
Where do trade winds go when they move from the tropics?
They move into the temperate regions. All of the winds are connected and the cycle goes back and forth.
How much weight can 75 mph winds move?
75 mph winds can move objects weighing up to 20 pounds.
Winds that travel across large bodies of water tend to be?
thunderstorms
Why Surface winds tend to curve?
Because of the rotation of the earth and the shape
Why clouds usually move eastwards?
Clouds usually move eastwards due to the prevailing westerly winds at mid-latitudes. These winds are caused by the Earth's rotation and the temperature differences between the poles and the equator, creating a pattern where air moves from west to east. As clouds are carried along by these winds, they tend to travel in an eastward direction.
How does air move from place to place?
winds
Do winds move at different speeds?
Yes.
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.
How is the formation of global winds and small scale winds similar?
Winds are caused by differences in air pressure, winds move from high to low pressure. Has something to do with the coriolis effect.:]
Why do clouds move fast sometimes?
Clouds move fast sometimes due to strong winds in the upper atmosphere. These winds can push the clouds along quickly, causing them to move rapidly across the sky.
