What would happen without the coriolis effect?
Without the Coriolis effect, air would simply flow from low pressure areas to high pressure areas. The Coriolis effect causes deflection in the global wind patterns.
What affect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The surface wind speed has no effect on the Coriolis Force. The Coriolis Force is dependant on the rotation of Earth that has the effect on surface wind and not the other way around
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.
What effect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The effect that a reduction in surface wind speed will have on the Coriolis force is to reduce the effect of the Coriolis force. Winds blowing at higher speeds are pulled on more by the Coriolis force, which somewhat alters the direction in which they blow.
What causes gyres?
Gyres are circular movements of ocean currents caused by the Coriolis Effect.
Where is the deflection of wind due to the coriolis effect the strongest?
The poles
What causes wind deflection from the North and South poles?
rotation of Earth on its axis=coriolis effect
Is it true that the increased cooling that a wind can cause is called the Coriolis effect?
No. The Coriolis effect is the deflection of wind and ocean currents caused by Earth's rotation. The increased cooling from wind is called wind chill.
What is the clockwise deflection of air in the Northern Hemisphere and the counterclockwise deflection of air in the Southern Hemisphere?
The deflection is to the right of the path of motion of the wind.
What would happen without the coriolis effect?
Without the Coriolis effect, air would simply flow from low pressure areas to high pressure areas. The Coriolis effect causes deflection in the global wind patterns.
What are 3 things that cause surface currents?
The three factors which control surface currents are the following:Global windsContinental deflection and temperatureThe Coriolis effect
What apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the earth rotation?
Coriolis effect
What affect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The surface wind speed has no effect on the Coriolis Force. The Coriolis Force is dependant on the rotation of Earth that has the effect on surface wind and not the other way around
What force is responsible for wind?
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.
What effect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The effect that a reduction in surface wind speed will have on the Coriolis force is to reduce the effect of the Coriolis force. Winds blowing at higher speeds are pulled on more by the Coriolis force, which somewhat alters the direction in which they blow.
What deflects the wind to east or west?
The Coriolis Effect.
