What else can I help you with?
How the earth rotation affects the pattern of surface currents?
It causes the currents to move in curved paths instead of going in a straight line, which is known a the Coriolis effect.
What causes global winds and currents to curve in a circular pattern?
The curved paths of global winds and surface currents are caused by warm air near the equator.
Why do wind currents move in curved paths?
Because of the Coriolis Effect
How does earths rotation affects the patterns of surface currents?
Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which deflects surface currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This creates the circular patterns of surface currents in the oceans known as gyres. These gyres help transport heat and nutrients around the planet, influencing global climate and marine ecosystems.
What causes currents to move in curved paths instead of straight lines?
Earth's rotation causes the water to move in a curve; this is a manifestation of The Coriolis force.
What causes surface currents to move in circular paths?
question mark OK i have no idea
Why do surface currents travel in curved paths around the earth?
Two main reasonsthe surface of the earth is not smooth so currents have to travel in curved paths to get around obstaclesCoriolis forces - because of the huge distances involved the differences of forces due to the changes in the circumference of the earth at different latitudes causes currents to curve even if they are trying to travel in a straight line. Note: it takes huge distances - on the order of miles - to see any effect from Coriolis forces (- despite the urban folklore out there about drains swirling different directions in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Hint - they don't) Unless your sink or toilet is miles across, you won't be seeing Coriolis forces determining the direction of swirl as they drain.
What causes wind to follow a curved path over earth's surface?
The Coriolis force, a result of the earth's rotation, causes wind to follow a curved path over the earth's surface. As air moves across the rotating earth, its direction is deflected, causing winds to veer to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This causes the curved paths of winds commonly observed on the earth's surface.
Do Gradient winds follow a curved path?
Yes, gradient winds flow along curved paths due to the balance between the pressure gradient force and the Coriolis force. This results in the wind direction changing with height above the Earth's surface.
Why do p wave and s waves follow curved paths?
gravity
The curved paths followed by balls B and C are examples of?
The curved paths followed by balls B and C are examples of projectile motion, where an object is launched into the air and moves under the influence of gravity.
A mathematical procedure used in vector graphics to describe curved paths is called?
Bezier
