Which of these causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blow straight across the earth's surface?

The Coriolis effect causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blowing straight across the Earth's surface. This effect is the result of the Earth's rotation and causes moving air or water to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.


What is the source of energy that drives the earths winds?

The source of energy that drives Earth's winds is primarily the sun. Differential heating of the Earth's surface by the sun causes variations in temperature and pressure, leading to the movement of air masses and the generation of wind patterns.


What is global winds that blow constantly from the same direction and cover a large part of earths surface?

The global winds that blow constantly from the same direction and cover a large part of Earth's surface are called the Trade Winds. These winds are caused by the Earth's rotation and the difference in temperature between the equator and the poles. The Trade Winds play a significant role in shaping climate and weather patterns around the world.


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.


Define global winds?

Global winds are winds that blow From the poles, in which they act as a heat transfer system. Global winds are due to the unequal heating of earths surface

What causes winds to appear on earth's surface?

The difference in temperature in air causes movement as warm air rises and cold air sinks. The Earth's rotation also has a small affect.


What causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blow straight across the earth surface?

The warmth of the Sun creates temperature differences that change the direction of the wind.
