What is the Coriolis Effect and how does it effect global winds?
Curving of winds due to rotation of earth curves wind counterclockwise in Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere
curve of global winds caused by global rotation clockwise in Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in Southern Hemisphere
Movement of ocean currents caused by earth rotation' counterclockwise in Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in Southern Hemisphere
What is the Coriolis Effect
How does the Coriolis Effect influence hurricanes and cyclones
determines the direction of the wind rotation (spin)
determines how powerful they will be
determines where they form
