What else can I help you with?
What causes planetary winds to deflect when they blow from north to south?
The Coriolis Effect
Which way would the needle point if you were at the magnetic north pole?
If only allowed to pivot in a horizontal plane, it would wander aimlessly. If also allowed to deflect vertically, it would point straight down into the ground.
As a result of Coriolis effect an air mass moving from the north pole to the equator will?
As a result of the Coriolis effect, an air mass moving from the North Pole to the equator will be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. This means that instead of moving directly southward, the air mass will curve towards the east. This deflection influences weather patterns and ocean currents, contributing to the rotation of large-scale systems like cyclones.
What is a plate that is moving north called?
The indo-australasian or the African plates are moving north
What result of a Coriolis's effect an air mass moving from the North Pole toward the equator will?
As an air mass moves from the North Pole toward the equator, the Coriolis effect causes it to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. This results in a counterclockwise rotation of the air mass, contributing to the formation of trade winds and influencing weather patterns. The effect becomes more pronounced as the air mass moves southward, impacting the direction and speed of winds across different latitudes.
In the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect makes winds .?
bend to the right of their motion
What causes planetary winds to deflect when they blow from north to south?
The Coriolis Effect
Result of the coriolis effect an air mass moving from the north pole toward the equator will?
Bend to the West
Why does air not move straight north or south because of what?
Air does not move straight north or south due to the Coriolis effect, which is a result of the Earth's rotation. This effect causes moving air masses to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in curved paths rather than straight north or south movement.
Where is the sun in the autumnal equinox?
Exactly straight over the equator. It's a tiny bit north of the equator just before the Autumnal Equinox, and a tiny bit south of the equator just after it. In other words, the sun is 'moving' south. At the Vernal Equinox, it's also precisely over the equator, but 'moving' north.
What is the straight that separates North American from Asia?
The Bering Straight
Which way would the needle point if you were at the magnetic north pole?
If only allowed to pivot in a horizontal plane, it would wander aimlessly. If also allowed to deflect vertically, it would point straight down into the ground.
How can you tell which way a front is moving?
You can tell which way a front is moving by observing the direction in which the clouds are moving. In the Northern Hemisphere, if clouds are moving from south to north, it indicates a warm front moving north. If clouds are moving from north to south, it indicates a cold front moving south. Reverse these directions for the Southern Hemisphere.
What does due north mean in directions?
Due north is straight north, or exactly north.
Is north America moving closer to japan or moving away?
Closer
Why does the high pressure air from the south not blow straight to the north?
the Coriolis force, which is produced by earth's rotation.
What is negative bearing?
a bearing is the angle from north moving clockwise 360 degrees a negative bearing is moving counterclockwise from north
