What are the winds that flow from the horse latitudes toward the polar areas called?
The winds are called Westerlies.
Why do most coastal regions have two high and low tides?
Pick a location on the Earth. Pick a location that is exactly on the opposite side of the Earth. Now, at the first point, imagine the moon or sun directly overhead. This will 'pull' the ocean water toward the moon or earth in a sort of bulge. At the same time, that point on the opposite side of the earth will bulge away from the moon and sun. So this is one high tide on opposite sides of the Earth. The earth revolves in 12 hours so that point 2 is closest to the moon or sun, and point 1 is farther. You get that same 2 bulges. We have just described two high tides in a day. Similarly, on both cases, the tides half way between the 'bulges' are at low tide, because water is being forced away to make those 2 bulges, and also twice a day.
If you are facing Polaris which compass direction is at your back?
If you are facing Polaris, which is located near the North Celestial Pole, then the compass direction at your back would be south. Polaris is commonly used for navigation in the Northern Hemisphere, as it indicates true north. Therefore, standing with Polaris in front of you, you are oriented toward the north and facing away from the south.
What is it called when the two days of the year when neither hemisphere are toward or away from the sun?
equinox
How does the moon affect the oceans and seas?
The gravity of the moon pulls the water of the earth's oceans toward the moon, on both sides of the earth at the same time. High tide is when the ocean facing closest to the moon receives the most gravitational pull, and the other side of the earth, receiving the least gravity has low tide from the lowest gravitational pull. Other types of tide come from when the moon and the sun are both in front of the earth, and their is a larger tide then normal, or when the sun and the moon are on opposite sides of the earth, and the opposing gravitational pulls cause lower than usual tidal pulls.
On what sides does bulge in the earth's oceans appear on earth?
The bulges in the Earth's oceans, known as tidal bulges, occur on the side of the Earth facing the Moon and the side opposite the Moon. The gravitational pull of the Moon causes water to be drawn toward it, creating a bulge on the near side. Simultaneously, a second bulge forms on the far side due to the inertia of the water, as the Earth is pulled slightly toward the Moon. This results in high tides in both locations, while areas perpendicular to these bulges experience low tides.
Toward the left side of a ship?
...Is "aport": On a ship, while facing forward, the left side of the ship is called "port" and the right side of the ship is called "starboard".
Where is the engine block drain plug on a 1996 Chevy beretta?
on my 92, it on the oil pan facing toward the rear on my 92, it on the oil pan facing toward the rear
Bulges of water in the ocean are?
That's a good way to describe the tides. You can think of a permanent bulge in the ocean, pointing toward the moon, with the earth rotating inside the bulge.
When you stand facing south you are looking toward the?
south pole
What is posterior herniation?
Posterior herniation is when a disc in the spine becomes damaged and bulges outward from the spinal column toward the back. Common causes are work related injury and age.
What oceans do beluga whales live in?
they live in Ice's waters toward Alaska and the north pole
Is the half of earth where its nighttime facing toward the sun or away?
Away
If the earth is spherical how does the seas and ocean hold the water in place?
Gravity pulls all matter toward the center of the earth. That keeps the water in the lower basins, that are called seas and oceans and are bounded by higher ground called continents and islands.
What would happen if the moon did not rotate on its axis?
One side would be facing toward us and then after it has gone halfway around the Earth in two weeks the opposite side would be facing toward us.
If you travel toward the north pole the direction that your facing is?
North of course! There is no other way to travel.
What is it called when your kidneys begin to move toward?
toward what?
