As they approach North America, hurricanes commonly move north on clockwise-curving paths due to the:- <u>Coriolis effect</u>

<u>Coriolis effect</u>

  • An effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.

The key to the Coriolis effect lies in Earth’s rotation. Specifically, Earth rotates faster at the Equator than it does at the poles. Earth is wider at the Equator, so to make a rotation in one 24-hour period, equatorial regions race nearly 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) per hour. Near the poles, Earth rotates at a sluggish 0.00008 kilometers (0.00005 miles) per hour.

What would be a likely natural feature in a densely populated area of the world?
Katen [24]
A likely natural feature in an extremely densely populated area would be a well watered, fertile plain. An example is the Northern plain of India also called the Indo - Gangetic plain. It s on one of the world's most densely populated area per square kilometer. This plain is formed from the flood plains of three great river systems - the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra. The soil cover in the plain is rich and fertile and water is found in plenty. These factors combined with a favorable climate makes it one of the most intensely farmed and populated areas in the globe.
