What causes surface ocean currents to curve to the right in the northern hemisphere?
Coriolis effect
What apparent curving of the paths of winds and ocean currents is the result of the rotation of the earth?
The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth and the inertia of the mass experiencing the effect. This force causes moving objects on the surface of the earth to be deflected in a clockwise sense (with respect to the direction of travel) in the Northern Hemisphere and in a counter-clockwise sense in the Southern Hemisphere.
How does currents affect the coriolis effect?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
What is a coriolis in a hurricane?
This is the effect of the spinning earth on the axis. It cause Tropical storms to rotate anti clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. It also causes the track of the Hurricane to bend to the right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern hemisphere.
In which direction does the coriolis effect cause currents in the northern hemisphere to turn?
it's to the right.
This effect causes winds to turn westward in the lower northern hemisphere?
Coriolis or Coriolis effect
In the northern hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes Winds curve to the?
right
In the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the .?
right
In the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the?
right
What effect causes winds to turn westward in the lower northern hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect.
What causes surface ocean currents to curve to the right in the northern hemisphere?
Coriolis effect
When the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the?
right. This leads to a clockwise rotation in high pressure systems and counterclockwise rotation in low pressure systems. The Coriolis effect is a result of the Earth's rotation impacting the movement of fluids and winds on its surface.
Why do wind curve to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere?
The Coriolis Effect, a consequence of Earth's rotation, causes this.
What causes the moving air and water to turn right in the Coriolis Effect?
When i goes over the surface of the Earth it appears to veer right into a Coriolis Effect in the Northern Hemisphere
Why do major surface current gyres in the northern hemisphere flow clockwise?
The Coriolis effect causes northern gyres to spin clockwise.
What causes winds in the Northern Hemisphere to curve at the right as they move?
Axial tilt of the wart moving, or the Coriolis Effect.
What In the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the?
right
