take a bucket with water and start to spin it like a top. you will observe that that as you go deeper the force throws away the water to the sides of the bucket.
in the same way, earth moves like a top so the equator the part that bulges out pushes away the wind but the earth's gravity keeps it onto the surface.
What else can I help you with?
What are the Global winds that flow toward equator?
Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
Is the prevailing wind the main direction of the wind?
Yes, it is the direction from which the wind tends to blow.
Do wind currents flow faster at the equator or the poles?
Wind currents flow faster at the poles than at the equator. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes the winds to be deflected as they move from high pressure to low pressure areas, creating stronger winds at higher latitudes. Additionally, temperature differences between the equator and the poles contribute to the strength of wind currents.
When winds generally flow away from the equator and towards the poles what transfer of wind does this cause?
an energy transfer, with heat energy moving away from the equator
Winds generally flow away from the equator and towards the poles. What transfer does this flow of wind cause?
an energy transfer, with heat energy moving away from the equator. Studyisland question. Hope it helps :) Studyisland sucks especially when you are stuck.
Are winds named for the direction they flow to or the direction they flow from?
Winds are named for the direction they flow from. For example, a northeast wind comes from the northeast direction.
How would the wind blow if the earth did not rotate?
If the Earth did not rotate, the winds would flow from the poles towards the equator in a straight line due to the temperature differences between the poles and the equator. There would be no Coriolis effect to influence the direction of the wind, resulting in simpler and more predictable wind patterns.
If the wind and the light were traveling in the same direction and the wind changed direction would the light follow?
No, light is energy, wind is molecules on the move.

Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
Is the prevailing wind the main direction of the wind?
Yes, it is the direction from which the wind tends to blow.
What is used to determine the direction of the wind?
Wind direction is determined by friction ,or the lack thereof ,surrounding the earth surface. Warm air from the equator rises, moves towards the poles, falls and returns to the equator. crossing water decreases friction, crossing a mountain increases friction.
Which is direction of wind flow in chennai?
Mostly south and West
Do wind currents flow faster at the equator or the poles?

This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes the winds to be deflected as they move from high pressure to low pressure areas, creating stronger winds at higher latitudes.

Why there are more coastal deserts along the western coasts?
Ocean and wind currents above the equator flow in a clockwise pattern, while those south of the equator flow in a counterclockwise pattern. But all the winds and currents meet at the equator and flow east to west forming the trade winds and equatorial currents.

How does a wind vane tells wind direction?
A wind vane is a weather vane that pivots on a central axis. The tail of the wind vane is larger than the head, causing it to point in the direction the wind is coming from. Wind direction is determined by observing which way the wind vane is pointing.
