Why does warm water flow away from the equator?

Warm water flows away from the equator due to Earth's rotation and the Coriolis effect. As the warm water moves towards the poles, it gets deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, creating ocean currents that transport heat around the globe.


What factors contribute to the low-level rotation of a northern hemisphere hurricane?

The low-level rotation of a northern hemisphere hurricane is influenced by factors such as the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect), warm ocean temperatures, and the structure of the storm itself. These factors work together to create the spinning motion characteristic of hurricanes in the northern hemisphere.


Is November winter?

In many places, November is considered the transition month from autumn to winter. So while it may not technically be winter yet, the weather and temperatures in November can often reflect winter conditions.


How does climate influence the surface water flow in northern hemisphere?

water has an huge influence in the northern hemisphere because it absorbs the sunlight and it takes much more time to cool and the coastal areas are affected by it and also coastal areas are always warm or wet.. Natasha Wilberding, 12, Alaska..


Hurricane a cyclone or anticyclone?

A hurricane is a type of cyclone, specifically a tropical cyclone that forms over warm ocean waters. These storms have low pressure systems at their centers and spin counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, an anticyclone is a high-pressure system where air descends and rotates clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.

Explain the movement of warm water in the northern hemisphere?

It's warm because of the other currents pushing the warm currents up north.


What do you wear if you are in the Northern hemisphere in December?

warm, warm clothes


Is December cold?

December is cold in the northern hemisphere and warm in the southern hemisphere.

Is the northern hemisphere warm?

The northern hemisphere experiences warmer temperatures during the summer months and colder temperatures during the winter months, due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. Overall, the northern hemisphere can be warm in summer and cold in winter, depending on the season.


Do l need warm clothes for April?

In the northern hemisphere, yes.


What countries are hot in Feb?

Countries south of the Equator. When its hot in July in the Northern Hemisphere, its winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The reverse is also true - when it is a chilly February in the Northern Hemisphere, it is warm summer in the Southern Hemisphere.


What does warm water do to the climate?

Ocean currents move warm water from the equator to the poles and cold water from the poles back to the equator. The heat carried north helps warm the northern countries in the winter time.


Is the gulf stream in the northern or southern hemisphere?

the gulf stream is in the nothern hemisphere


Why is it warm in the spring?

The warming in spring (in the northern hemisphere, for in stance) happens as the earth tilts on its axis towards the sun, and the northern hemisphere faces the sun more directly.


What direction do cold currents flow in the northern hemisphere?

warm surface currents come from the polar and temperate latitudes, and they tend to flow towards the equator. Like the warm surface currents, mainly atmospheric forces drive them. Gyres form when the major ocean currents connect. Water flows in a circular pattern-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the Southern hemisphere.


What hemisphere do hurricanes occur?

If you mean hemisphere, they occur in both. Tropical Cyclones spin counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern. The North Hemisphere is generally more active and produces more intense storms than the southern though.
