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.

If two parents have dark hair, the child will most likely have dark hair.
If one has light and the other dark, the child has a 75% chance of having dark hair or a dark-dominated mix because the gene for dark hair is dominant.
If two parents have light hair, the child will most likely have light hair.

Of course, it gets a lot more complicated than this, the genes of the child's grandparents and great grandparents could be carried by the parents as well. So if the parents have dark hair but they each have a parent with light hair, the light hair gene will be carried by them and could be passed on to the child. That's how it is with genetic disorders, such as Systic Fibrosis or Sickle Cell Anemia.
