How does the coriolis effect contribute to formation of tropical cyclones ? ​

Geography

The Coriolis effect is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion within a frame of reference that rotates with respect to its inertial frame. Any reference frame with clockwise rotation, the force acts to the left of the motion of that object; and vice versa.

Since the the earth rotates on a 23° axis, circulating air is deflected towards the right in the northern hemisphere and towards the left in the southern hemisphere.

Because the air is moving in a curved path creating circular spin patterns as the air travels from areas of high pressure to low pressure.

And so that’s why hurricanes in the north rotate counterclockwise, and tropical cyclones in the south rotate clockwise.

I hope that helps.

tester [92]

Answer:

most dangerous geologic hazards are earthquakes

Explanation:

most dangerous geologic hazards are earthquakes

because

we know that Geological hazards occur because of geological processes that is movement in the tectonic plates and the volcanic activity

and due to movement of tectonic plate it generate the earthquake , landslide and volcanic etc

so here earthquake is more danger and hazards because volcanic and landslide most come in hilly area and density of people is more in plane surface as compare to hilly area

so most dangerous geologic hazards are earthquakes
