Without friction air is controlled by pressure differences and the rotation of the earth. Friction slows down the air movement while the pressure source remains the same.

What is the direction of rotation of air around an anticyclone?

In the Northern Hemisphere, air around an anticyclone rotates clockwise, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it rotates counterclockwise. This rotation is a result of the Coriolis effect, which influences the movement of air and fluids on Earth. Anticyclones are associated with high pressure systems, leading to clear skies and stable weather conditions.


What direction does an anticyclone spin?

An anticyclone spins clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect. This high-pressure system is associated with calm, clear weather.


Which way do winds blow in the northern hemisphere during a anticyclone?

In the northern hemisphere, winds blow clockwise around an anticyclone. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes moving air to be deflected to the right. As a result, the air moves outward from the center of high pressure, creating clear skies and stable weather conditions.


How does coriolis effect affect the cyclone?

The Coriolis force is required for a cyclone to form into a tropical cyclone or hurricane. The force causes a greater deflection of the air (right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern) and the correct speeds for the tropical cyclone to form. Hence why tropical cyclones do not form at or within 5 degrees of the equator, and cease to exist at around 35 degrees north, or 15 degrees south.


Do winds in an anticyclone spin clockwise in hemisphere?

Yes, in the Northern Hemisphere, winds in an anticyclone spin in a clockwise direction. This is due to the Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, which causes air to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.

True or false do winds in an anticyclone spin clockwise in the northern hemisphere?

False. The center of a hurricane, called the eye, is actually calm. The strongest winds are in an area surrounding the eye called the eye wall.


What effect does friction have on steel?

What will be the effect on friction when contact points are reduced?

No effect


Do friction have same effect?

No


Which force needs to touch something to have an effect?

The force of friction needs to touch an object to have an effect. Friction occurs when two surfaces are in contact and one surface resists the motion of the other surface. It is this resistance that allows friction to have an effect on objects in contact.
