How many major atmospheric convection cells would there be without Coriolis effect?
Without the Coriolis effect, there would likely be only three major atmospheric convection cells in each hemisphere: the Hadley cell, the Ferrel cell, and the Polar cell. The Coriolis effect causes the deflection of winds and influences the formation of these cells, leading to a more complex circulation pattern. Without it, air would rise at the equator and sink at the poles, resulting in a simpler, direct flow of air from the equator to the poles. This would significantly alter global wind patterns and climate systems.
What three things must occur for differential wind to blow?
There must be a difference in air pressure between two regions. The pressure gradient force must be present to drive air from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas. The Coriolis effect must influence the direction of the wind as it flows along the pressure gradient.
The three surface currents of the ocean?
The three major surface currents of the ocean are the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic, the Kuroshio Current in the North Pacific, and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in the Southern Ocean. These currents play a significant role in redistributing heat around the globe and influencing regional climates.
What is the Coriolis effect and how does it relate to the three major wind belts?
the earth spins on its axis and rotates so the wind turns and changes direction. some winds want to go t the equator, others the poles, but regardless in the north they go right and in the south they go left.
What three physical traits are affected by the environment?
fffffffff
what are three things affected?
what are three things affected by friction
What make a curve ball curve when you throw it?
Three things affect the trajectory of a curve ball: Coriolis effect, gravity and precession AKA spin drift.
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
Three factors combine to control wind?
pressure differences, coriolis effect, friction
What are three ways ocean currents are formed?
global winds, coriolis effect, and continental deflections
What are three factors that controles surface currents?
global winds, Coriolis effect, and continental deflection
Which of these three choices Pressure gradient forces or Coriolis Effect or Humidity has the smallest impact on winds?
Humidity has the smallest impact on winds. While humidity does play a role in the formation of clouds and precipitation, it does not directly influence wind patterns to the same extent as pressure gradient forces or the Coriolis effect.
What are the three factors that affect the ocean?
Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
What are the three things that the magnitude of the Coriolis Force depends?
The magnitude of the Coriolis force depends on the speed of the object, the latitude at which the object is located, and the mass of the object.
What are three factors that affect the surface ocean currents?
Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
What are 3 things that affect surface ocean currents?
Wind, deflection from land, temperature differences between layers of cold and warm water.
What is the minimum distance an object has to travel to be affected by the Coriolis effect?
The time, space and velocity scales are important in determining the importance of the Coriolis effect. Whether rotation is important in a system can be determined by its Rossby number, which is the ratio of the velocity, U, of a system to the product of the Coriolis parameter,, and the length scale, L, of the motion:.The Rossby number is the ratio of inertial to Coriolis forces. A small Rossby number signifies a system which is strongly affected by Coriolis forces, and a large Rossby number signifies a system in which inertial forces dominate. For example, in tornadoes, the Rossby number is large, in low-pressure systems it is low and in oceanic systems it is around 1. As a result, in tornadoes the Coriolis force is negligible, and balance is between pressure and centrifugal forces. In low-pressure systems, centrifugal force is negligible and balance is between Coriolis and pressure forces. In the oceans all three forces are comparable.[16]An atmospheric system moving at U = 10 m/s occupying a spatial distance of L = 1,000 km (621 mi), has a Rossby number of approximately 0.1. A man playing catch may throw the ball at U = 30 m/s in a garden of length L = 50 m. The Rossby number in this case would be about = 6000. Needless to say, one does not worry about which hemisphere one is in when playing catch in the garden. However, an unguided missile obeys exactly the same physics as a baseball, but may travel far enough and be in the air long enough to notice the effect of Coriolis. Long-range shells in the Northern Hemisphere landed close to, but to the right of, where they were aimed until this was noted. (Those fired in the southern hemisphere landed to the left.) In fact, it was this effect that first got the attention of Coriolis himself.[17][18][19]
