The Coriolis Effect is the phenomenon that effects global winds. A convection cell is a form of wind and this is the first part of the coriolis effect.

Describe the path of air as it travels into a low-pressure area in the northern hemisphere?

Air flows counterclockwise towards the center of a low-pressure area in the northern hemisphere. This movement is due to the Coriolis effect, which deflects air to the right in the northern hemisphere. As the air converges towards the center of the low-pressure system, it rises, cools, and forms clouds and precipitation.


The Earth would be too cold to support current life forms without this natural phenomenon?

The natural phenomenon that helps support current life forms on Earth by trapping heat is known as the greenhouse effect, which involves certain gases in Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trapping heat from the sun. Without the greenhouse effect, Earth's average temperature would be much colder and the planet would not be able to support the diverse range of life forms we see today.


Does the greenhouse effect make mercury very hot?

There are no greenhouse gases on Mercury. Just a very thin atmosphere of helium and hydrogen. So it has no greenhouse effect. Its surface ranges in temperature from -270°F to 800°F (-168°C to 427°C).


What is the mist on table mountain called?

The mist on Table Mountain in South Africa is called the "tablecloth." It forms when clouds get caught on the mountain and create a spectacular cascading effect down its slopes.


Why do tornadoes have a spiral shape?

Tornadoes take on a spiral shape because the winds in them spin and move upward. This is because tornadoes originate from the rotating updraft of a supercell thunderstorm. The updraft gets this rotation from wind shear.

What is the coeiolis effect and how does it affect or cause a hurricane?

The Coriolis effect is the result of the earth's rotation having an effect on things on it's surface most notably wind and water. This effect can produce the starting winds for hurricanes and keeps them from moving towards the equator.
