What effect does the hemisphere have on the seasons?
The hemisphere you are in (northern or southern) has an effect on when you experience the seasons. At points in the earth's orbit it is either the southern or northern hemisphere that is tilted further towards the sun. This makes that hemisphere warmer, experiencing summer while the other colder and experiences winter. Then six months later, things are reversed.
Would winds have favored European explores seeking to travel east around the tip of Africa?
No it wouldn't have helped because of the Coriolis Effect. Remember that winds in the northern hemisphere turn to the right and the winds in the Southern Hemisphere turn to the left.
Is it colder in the winter in the Northern Hemisphere because Earth is farther from the sun then?
Actually, the earth passes its perihelion, the point in its orbit at which it is closest to the sun, in early January. Although the total amount of the sun's energy that is reaching the earth decreases as the earth's distance from the sun increases, that difference is insignificant compared to the effect of the angle at which the sun's rays are contacting the various parts of the earth.
What is the season when the earth is farthest from the sun in the southern hemisphere?
That is true. The orbit of the Earth around the sun is ellipitical, and the Earth is farthest from the sun on July 4th. This is slightly ironic, since that is when the northern hemisphere has the warmest weather. But the axial tilt has a greater effect than the variation in distance from the sun (which is only a minor variation).
What is the best slogan about greenhouse effect?
an affect to die for
How will a wind blowing to the northern hemisphere be a affected by the coriolis effect?
it will bend to the west
What direction does the Coriolis effect cause currents in the northern hemisphere to turn?
In the northern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes currents to turn to the right. This means that ocean currents tend to flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere as a result of the Coriolis effect.
What causes surface ocean currents to curve to the right in the northern hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect causes surface ocean currents to curve to the right in the northern hemisphere. This effect is a result of the Earth's rotation, which deflects moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.
Do currents in the northern hemisphere flow clockwise?
In the northern hemisphere, ocean currents generally flow clockwise due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation. This effect causes moving fluids to curve to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.
This effect causes winds to turn westward in the lower northern hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect is responsible for causing winds to turn westward in the lower northern hemisphere. This phenomenon is a result of the Earth's rotation, which deflects moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.
HOW does the Coriolis effect impact ocean currents in the southern and northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes ocean currents to be deflected to the right. In the southern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes ocean currents to be deflected to the left. This deflection leads to the clockwise rotation of ocean currents in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise rotation in the southern hemisphere.
In which direction does the coriolis effect cause currents in the northern hemisphere to turn?
it's to the right.
What causes winds in the Northern Hemisphere to curve at the right as they move?
The Coriolis effect causes winds in the Northern Hemisphere to curve to the right. This effect is due to the rotation of the Earth and causes moving air to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
How will a wind blowing to the north in the Northern Hemisphere be affected by the Coriolis effect?
The Coriolis effect will cause the wind to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. So, a wind blowing to the north in the Northern Hemisphere will be deflected to the east due to the Coriolis effect.
What direction is the Coriolis effect in the northern and southern hemisphere?
In the Northern hemisphere, the direction is clockwise... In the Southern, it turns anti-clockwise.
Who do cyclones effect?
cyclones effect mostly people in the southern hemisphere because people in the northern hemisphere call them hurricanes
Why is moving air deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere?
Moving air is deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation. This effect causes freely moving objects, like air molecules, to be deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.
