Is it true or false that in the northern hemisphere surface currents curve to the left?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

False. In the northern hemisphere, surface currents generally curve to the right due to the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth, which deflects moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere.

Will the northern hemisphere have daylight?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The northern hemisphere will have daylight due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. As the Earth revolves around the Sun, different parts of the hemisphere receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. This results in longer daylight hours during summer and shorter daylight hours during winter in the northern hemisphere.

Why does the toilet flush clockwise?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Actually, my can flushes counterclockwise, but it really doesn't matter. The lever is just there to lift a chain that lift a rubber tab that opens to draw the water out, with it repenishing the water while or upon closing.

AnswerIt is called the "Coreolis Affect". North of the Equator, the water flushes counter-clockwise, so south of the Equator, the water flushes clockwise.

"Are you livin' in the land 'Down Under'?" (Oh yeah)

The coreolis affect does not apply to why the toilet flushes counter-clockwise. toilets have grooved holes that forces water to spiral to the bottom. this increases the flush force. earth's rotation creates the coreolis affect on weather patterns, etc.

How cold is a Russian tundra?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

During the winter it is very cold and dark, with the average temperature around −28 °C (−18 °F), sometimes dipping as low as −50 °C (−58 °F). However, extreme cold temperatures on the tundra do not drop as low as those experienced in taiga areas further south (for example, Russia's and Canada's lowest temperatures were recorded in locations south of the tree line).

What direction do cold currents flow in the northern hemisphere?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

warm surface currents come from the polar and temperate latitudes, and they tend to flow towards the equator. Like the warm surface currents, mainly atmospheric forces drive them. Gyres form when the major ocean currents connect. Water flows in a circular pattern-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the Southern hemisphere.

What is the lowest point in northern hemisphere?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The lowest temperature ever recorded was 450 ± 80 pK (picoKelvins), achieved by a group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2003. That is 450 ± 80 trillionths of a Kelvin. 0 Kelvin is the theoretical coldest possible temperature and is equal to -273.15° C (-459.67° F).
