Do the winds in a northern hemisphere cyclone spiral counterclockwise away or toward its center?

In the northern hemisphere, the winds in a cyclone spiral counterclockwise away from its center. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes air to deflect to the right in the northern hemisphere, encouraging the counterclockwise rotation.


How does the pressure change as you go from surface toward the center of earth?

All matter (something that has mass and takes up space) on and near Earth is subject to the pull from the Earth's gravitational field, with an acceleration rate of 9.8 m/sec. In other words, the Earth's gravity field is trying to pull every bit of matter toward the center of the Earth.


What has strata on both limbs dipping inward toward the axis?

A FOLD has a strata on both limbs dipping inward toward the axis.


Pressure increases with depth toward the center of the earth in which layer would you expect pressure to be the greatest?

At the very center.


Is high pressure slow wind or fast wind?

For reasons I won't explain lest you should lapse into a coma, there is a physical limitation as to how sharply clockwise-circulating winds [Northern Hemisphere] can curve around a high pressure systems. The radius of curvature (how tightly winds can spiral) is significantly limited. Thus you get a broad area of light winds.There is no such physical limitation as to how sharply the air can curve when spiraling counter-clockwise [Northern Hemisphere] toward a low pressure center, so strong winds blowing in spirals that have small radii of curvature can develop.

What best describes the pressure in a middle-latitude cyclone?

The pressure in a middle-latitude cyclone is lower at the center and higher around the edges. This pressure difference causes the air to spiral inward, creating strong winds and stormy conditions.


Does the wind go toward a tornado?

Yes, the wind typically flows inward toward a tornado in a rotating motion. This rotation creates the characteristic funnel shape of a tornado as the air spirals inward towards the center of low pressure.


What does the word inbound mean?

directed or moving inward or toward a center; "the inbound train"; "inward flood of capital" inward bound: inbound ships Bound inward; incoming: inbound commuter traffic.

What is a lens that refracts light inward toward a point?

A concave lens refracts light inward toward a point. It has a thinner center and thicker edges, causing light rays to diverge.

Why do winds spiral towards the center of the hurricane?

Winds spiral towards the center of a hurricane due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the rotation of the Earth. As air rushes in towards the low-pressure center of the storm, the Coriolis effect deflects the moving air to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, creating a spiraling motion.
