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 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 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 the Coriolis effect modify air movement?
how does force affect the movement
In the northern hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the what?
The coriolis force is strongest at the poles
What force makes hurricanes spin?
The Coriolis Effect, which is a consequence of earth's rotation.
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 is the Corelli effect?
The observed effect of the Coriolis force, especially the deflection of objects or substances (such as air) moving along the surface of the Earth, rightward in the Northern Hemisphere and leftward in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis effect is named after the French engineer Gustave Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843).

What force is responsible for wind?
The Coriolis Effect
What is the force that deflects wind?
The Coriolis effect is the force that deflects prevailing winds
What is the restoring force of a water wave at the ocean surface?
Let's define restoring force first: A force that tends to restore a disturbed ocean surface to a flat configuration (Intro. to Ocean Science, Douglas Segar). So a restoring force works against a wave. Those forces are gravity, surface tension, and the Coriolis effect. Gravity is the primary restoring force for most waves. Surface tension tends to acts more prevalently on capillary waves (tiny wave heights). The Coriolis effect, which is not actually a "force," is the main restoring force for waves with long periods such as tides.
How is the Coriolis affect different based on the hemisphere?
The Coriolis Effect is an apparent deflection of moving objects when they are viewed from a rotating reference frame. Moving objects on the surface of the Earth experience a Coriolis force, and appear to veer to the right in the northern hemisphere, and to the left in the southern hemisphere.
This effect is a force created by rotating bodies?
The equivalent of force, for rotational movement, is called torque.
What is the force that deflects prevailing winds?
The Coriolis effect is the force that deflects prevailing winds
What deflects surface winds to the right in the northern hemisphere?
Coriolis Force
How does the Coriolis effect modify air movement?
how does force affect the movement
The earth's rotation influences currents by a force known as what?
Coriolis effect
