Where does the continental United states major wind belts generally push air masses?
The continental US major wind belts generally push air masses from west to east.
Were do the thickest deposits of terrigenous sediment typically form?
The thickest deposits of terrigenous sediment typically form in areas close to continental margins, where there is a high input of sediment from rivers, glaciers, and wind. These areas can include continental shelves, slopes, and fans.
What is the global wind of the brickfielder wind?
The Brickfielder wind is a hot, dry wind that typically occurs in Australia, particularly in the southern and eastern regions. It originates from the interior deserts and blows towards the coast, often causing temperature increases and dry conditions. This wind is known for raising dust and can lead to increased fire danger in the areas it affects. While it is primarily a regional phenomenon, it reflects the broader patterns of continental winds influenced by local topography and climate.
What does the continental shelf and the continental slope make up together?
They are both part of the larger structure called the continental margin where a continental plate meets an oceanic plate. The lower (deeper) end of the continental slope is called the continental rise.
Do active continental margins have a continental rise?
No, active continental margins typically do not have a continental rise. Instead, they often have a steep continental slope that descends into a deep oceanic trench due to tectonic activity. Continental rises are found at passive continental margins where there is minimal tectonic activity.
Where does the continental United states major wind belts generally push air masses?
The continental US major wind belts generally push air masses from west to east.
What type of material forms a continental rise?
wind and earthquake
Any wind system on a continental scale that seasonally reverses its direction?
Any wind system on a continental scale that seasonally reverses its direction is a monsoon system. It affects large climatic regions.
Are there any large wind farms in Ohio?
As of 2011, No. Ohio is notable as it is the only state in the continental U.S. having adequate on-shore wind power sites that does NOT have a significant wind farm.
What causes the delay of the harmattan?
The Harmattan is a hot, dry and dusty wind (continental trade wind) blowing over West Africa. I know not why it might be delayed.
What has the author Ken Brink written?
Ken Brink has written: 'Programs for computing properties of coastal-trapped waves and wind-driven motions over the continental shelf and slope' -- subject(s): Continental slopes, Computer programs, Continental shelf, Ocean waves
How does wind patterns affect the movement of air masses in North America?
Four main types of air masses influence weather in North America: maritime tropical, continental tropical, maritime polar and continental polar.
What are 3 things that cause surface currents?
The three factors which control surface currents are the following:Global windsContinental deflection and temperatureThe Coriolis effect
Coriolis effect global winds and continental deflections are all factors that control?
The Coriolis effect is a result of the Earth's rotation and influences the direction of global winds by causing them to bend to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Global wind patterns are also affected by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which creates pressure differences that drive wind circulation. Continental deflections can further influence wind direction and strength by altering the flow of air masses over landmasses.
What 3 things cause ocean current?
1. global winds2. Coriolis effect3. continental deflections
