Which way does the coriolis effect deflect wind in the northern hemisphere

Biology
1 answer:
NikAS [45]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Towards the right

Explanation:

The Coriolis force is usually defined as the force that acts on the global wind and ocean currents and allows them to move in a clockwise and anticlockwise manner, in the northern and southern hemispheres respectively. This force occurs due to the rotation of the earth.

The strength of this Coriolis force gradually increases with the increasing latitudes and also increases with the gradually decreasing speed of the earth's rotation. So, the value of this force is observed to be highest at the poles and is absent at the equator.  

Thus, in the northern hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects the wind to the right side.

All of the following statements concerning autoclaving are true EXCEPT: a. Larger volumes require longer autoclaving times. b. A
krok68 [10]

c. All materials that need to be sterilized can be autoclaved.

As a widespread rule of thumb, you can not autoclave materials that can be infected with solvents, radioactive materials, risky or corrosive chemicals, or items that contain mutagens, carcinogens, or teratogens.

The catheter is a soft instrument, manufactured from polymers instead of any steel substance. The high warmness and water pressure of the autoclave can cause the polymer to melt or get broken.

Chlorides, sulfates, chlorine, hypochlorites, bleach, and acids aggressively attack chrome steel and might reason great damage to the autoclave chamber and plumbing. Hypochlorites, acids and bleaches are so caustic that they ought to never be sterilized or used to easy an autoclave.
