The term that best describes changes in air motion resulting from Earth's rotation is the Coriolis effect. This phenomenon causes moving air and water to turn and twist rather than travel in a straight line, influencing global wind patterns and ocean currents. It is a critical factor in meteorology and oceanography, affecting weather systems and climate dynamics.
What else can I help you with?
What planet has the same rotation as earths?
None (that we know of).
What causes the Coriolanus effect?
Earths rotation around its axis
What do changes in Earths orbit affect?
earths tempertures
What causes surface ocean currents to flow in a circular pattern or earths revolution earths revolutoin or earths rotation?
Surface ocean currents flow in a circular pattern due to a combination of Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect) and the shape of the continents. The Coriolis effect causes water to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in the circular motion of currents. This, along with the shape of the coastlines, influences the direction and pattern of ocean currents.
What is the earth greatest speed of earths rotation?
The speed of rotation is greatest at the equator; 1038 miles per hour.
What describes changes in air motion resulting from earths rotation?
coriolis effects
What is the deflection of air masses resulting the earths eastward rotation?
Coriolis effect
What changes the direction of airflow and is caused by earths rotation?
The coriolis effect
What is the deflection of air masses resulting from earths eastwards rotation?
The Coriolis Effect is responsible for this.
What best describes the earths surface?
all ofthe changes on earth surface occur slowly
How does earths rotation causes shadows to change length and position?
As the earth rotates the angle if the sunlight changes which affects shadows.
What is the name for the cycles resulting from changes in earths movements and may cause ice age?
Glacier cycles.
A Foucault pendulum is a famous demonstration of Earths?
rotation
Describe earths rotation?
Earth rotates on its axis from west to east, causing day and night. The rotation takes about 24 hours to complete, resulting in the cycle of sunrise and sunset. This rotation also gives the planet its distinctive oblate shape.
How long is the earths one complete rotation?
24 hours rotation
What is one complete spin on earths axis called?
That's "rotation".
What is A ROTAION?
Rotation is the act of spinning or turning around a central axis. It is a transformation that changes the orientation of an object without changing its shape or size. Rotations are commonly used in geometry and can be clockwise or counterclockwise.
