What is it called when the paths of winds and ocean currents seem to curve because of the earths rotation?
It's called the 'Coriolis effect'. In the northern hemisphere, they rotate clockwise. South of the equator, they rotate counter-clockwise.
A graphic representation demand is called?
A demand curve
What is the triangular space between the curve of an arch called?
spandrel
What do you call an curve in an old river?
A bend.
Why are roads bent inward on curves?
Roads, particularly those that are designed for high-speed travel, tend to be inclined with the bottom at the inside of the curve and the top of the incline at the outside of the curve. This is to help the driver counteract the momentum of the car, which will tend to push the car towards the outside of the curve. Momentum is the tendency of an object in motion to remain in motion on a straight line course unless acted upon by an outside force. Because the car is turning away from the straight line to follow the road, a force has to be applied to move the car from the straight line to the curve. Inclining the road helps provide this force - it helps turn the car by allowing gravity to pull the car down the incline and towards the center of the curve and counters the pull of the car towards the outside of the curve via momentum. This is why, when driving at higher speeds, you have to be careful about how quickly you try to turn your car. If you try to turn faster than you can overcome the momentum of the car, you will flip the car sideways and start rolling it.
When the path of winds and ocean currents seem to curve because of the Earths rotation it is called the?
The Coriolis effect
When the paths of wind and ocean currents curve because of earths rotation it's called the?
Coriolis effect and your mom
When the paths of winds and ocean currents seem to curve because of earths rotation it's called the?
The Coriolis effect
Earths rotation causes global winds to curve what is the effect called?
it is called the Coriolis effect
How does earths rotation influence the movement of global winds?
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.
How does the rotation of earth modify ocean currents in the northern hemisphere?
because of the Earths rotation the ocean currents are not in straight lines. In the northern hemisphere they curve to the right
