What else can I help you with?
Which direction do global winds blow ocean currents near the equator?
On the average, it most often blow horizontally.
Global winds found between 30 and 60 degrees lattitude?
There are trade winds and doldrums- ( which is right on the equator )
Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
Warm currents generally flow toward the poles from the equator. This creates a transfer of warm water from the equator to higher latitudes, helping to moderate temperatures in these regions.
Easterlies flow from?
The easterlies flow from the east towards the west in both the northern and southern hemispheres. These winds are part of the global atmospheric circulation and are driven by the Earth's rotation and the temperature differences between the equator and the poles.
Do winds and currents flow faster at the equator than at the poles or more slowly?
Winds and currents flow faster at the equator compared to the poles. This is due to the Coriolis effect caused by the Earth's rotation, which deflects winds and currents, making them stronger at the equator where the effect is minimized. At the poles, the Coriolis effect is strongest, resulting in slower winds and currents.
In what direction do global winds and currents flow near the equator?
westward
Which direction do global winds blow ocean currents near the equator?
On the average, it most often blow horizontally.
Winds from the equator to around 30e north latitude that generally flow from the northeast?
Winds from the equator to around 30e north latitude that generally flow from the northeast are called the prevailing winds. They are very common.
Global winds found between 30 and 60 degrees lattitude?
There are trade winds and doldrums- ( which is right on the equator )
Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
Warm currents generally flow toward the poles from the equator. This creates a transfer of warm water from the equator to higher latitudes, helping to moderate temperatures in these regions.
What are winds that flow from the horse latitudes toward the polar areas are called what?
The winds are called Westerlies.
What are the winds that flow from the horse latitudes toward the polar areas called?
The winds are called Westerlies.
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.
Easterlies flow from?
The easterlies flow from the east towards the west in both the northern and southern hemispheres. These winds are part of the global atmospheric circulation and are driven by the Earth's rotation and the temperature differences between the equator and the poles.
Are global winds that flow west to east called westerlies?
Yes.
In what direction do cold currents generally flow in the northern hemisphere?
Cold currents generally flow towards the equator. (a.k.a. south).
What are winds that flow from the horse latitudes toward that polar areas?
Polar Easterlies
