What causes winds to appear to turn on the earth's surface?
On Earth, winds are created by the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, deflects the moving air to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection causes winds to appear to turn as they travel across the Earth's surface.
Why does rain fall on angle?
Rain falls at an angle instead of straight down primarily due to wind. Wind can blow raindrops sideways or at an angle as they fall, causing them to reach the ground at an angle instead of vertically. Additionally, other atmospheric factors such as air currents and pressure can also contribute to rain falling at an angle.
Are the clouds moving, or is the earth moving?
The clouds appear to move across the sky because of the Earth's rotation.
What motion causes the Coriolis effect on earth?
The rotation of the Earth on its axis causes the Coriolis effect. As the Earth rotates, objects moving across its surface appear to curve due to the difference in linear velocity at different latitudes. This effect influences global wind patterns and ocean currents.
If a curve for surface waves were added to the graph where would they appear?
Surface waves would appear below the S-wave curve on a seismic wave graph. They travel along the Earth's surface and are slower than body waves (P and S waves) but faster than Love waves and Rayleigh waves.
Which of these causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blow straight across the earths surface?
Coriolis effect
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.

What is the synonym of the word 'appear'?
seem, occur, look to be, come across as, strike you as, emerge, surface, come out
Are there any apples on Mt Travail?
I didnt come across any they may be rare there but berries appear often use those instead
Would a shadow cast on Earth be straight or curved?
Well, if you had a shadow cast on earth, it would appear curved because the of the Earth's surface is curved
Why do searts appear to move westward across the sky?
Why do searts appear to move westward across the sky?
If a person is in front of a smooth surface from which a sound is reflected where does the sound appear to come from?
The sound would be reflected and seem to come from behind the reflective surface. This is commonly experienced near airports, where the sound of aircraft appears to come from the opposite direction, instead of from the airport.
Why do wind and surface currents appear to move in curved paths?
Wind and surface currents appear to move in curved paths primarily due to the Coriolis effect, which is the result of the Earth's rotation. As air and water move across the rotating planet, they are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection causes currents to follow curved trajectories rather than straight lines. Additionally, factors such as the shape of coastlines and the distribution of landmasses can further influence the direction of these currents.
What happens to the light when it falls on a black surface?
When light falls on a black surface, it gets absorbed rather than reflected or transmitted. This absorption occurs because the black surface does not reflect any of the light that hits it, converting the light energy into heat energy instead. This is why black surfaces appear dark, as they do not appear to reflect any light back to the observer.
When a ray of white light hits an opaque surface with red orange yellow green and violet what colors will the surface appear?
The surface will appear white.
