What does the Coriolis cause?
Currents to bend to the right in the Northern Hemisphere
Do isotherms bend poleward or equatorward over the continents in the summer?
Poleward
How does currents affect the coriolis effect?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
How does Coriolis Effect affect currents?
Currents don't affect the Coriolis Effect, the Coriolis Effect is the one who affects the currents. Currents in the Northern Hemisphere bend to the left and currents in the Southern Hemisphere bend to the right.
Do isotherms form along fronts?
Isotherms are a form of contour line to match points with the same temperature and observe rapid changes in temperatures. Fronts are the leading edge of an air mass. Fronts occur along isotherms because of the change in surface temperature, but isotherms are not formed, they are a tool used to analyze surface temperatures.
Is it true that because of the rotation of the earth surface currents in northern hemisphere bend to the right?
Yes, the Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, impacts surface ocean currents in the Northern Hemisphere by deflecting them to the right. This deflection is strongest near the poles and weaker along the equator. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, surface currents bend to the left due to the Coriolis effect.
What is the name for a spit with a sharp bend in the ocean?
A spit with a sharp bend in the ocean is commonly referred to as a "hooked spit." This geographical feature forms when sediment is deposited by longshore drift, creating a protrusion that curves at the end due to the influence of prevailing currents and wave action. The bend typically directs the spit inward toward the land or into a bay.
What word means bend or cause to bend?
The word that means to bend or cause to bend is "flex." It can be used in both the context of bending a physical object or a person's body.
How far is Bend Oregon from the Pacific Ocean?
132 miles
What actions should be taken nearing a bend in a narrow channel?
Swim steadily, and watch out for cross currents.
What can cause a rim to bend?
by hitting anything
What two processes can cause waves to bend?
diffraction and refraction are two processes that can bend waves
