Does the coriolis effect occur at the poles or the equator and why?

Geography

prohojiy [21]3 years ago
8 0
The actual paths of winds—and of ocean currents, which are pushed by wind—are partly a result of the Coriolis effect. ... The key to the Coriolis effectlies in the Earth's rotation. The Earth rotates faster at the Equator than itdoes at the poles. This is because the Earth is wider at theEquator.

A planet whose distance from the sun is 3 au would have an orbital period of how many earth-years?
Fiesta28 [93]
<span>The orbital period will be 5.196 earth years. The period of an orbit is proportional to the square root of the cube of the semi-major axis. The semi-major axis of earth is 1 AU (actually 1.000001018 AU, but for this problem 1 is close enough). The hypothetical planet will have a semi-major axis of 3 AU. So making the ratios with earth's year being 1, earth's semi-major axis being 1, the planet's year being y, and the planet's semi-major axis being 3, we get the following ratio. 1 / 1^(3/2) = y / 3^(3/2) Raise the denominators to the 3/2 powers. 1/1 = y/5.196 Multiply both sides by 5.196 5.196 = y So the orbit period will be 5.196 earth years.</span>

Evaluate the international community's response to the 1994 Rwandan genocide. What steps could have been taken to limit the even
Triss [41]
In April 1994 in Rwanda (East Africa) began the genocide of Tutsi - an ethnic minority, which for centuries dominated the Rwandan majority - Hutu. During the 100 days of incredible violence, about 800 000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu were murdered.  The international community, unfortunately, didn't respond to this event on time. The conflict was considered as an internal case and the Security Council of the UN didn't decide to intervene. Even though the scale and character of the conflict was well known the United States didn't want to get involved because of a painful experience from its intervention in Somalia in 1993 (the story was presented in the movie Black Hawk Down). 
The UN troops arrived in Rwanda when the major fights were over. They assisted only by the burial of deaths and protected the survivors. Today we know that other countries (for example France and China) were selling arms to the Rwandan government. 
What could be the response? The international community could prevent the growing hostility and animosity between Hutu and Tutsi already before the genocide. They should have introduced an embargo on arms in order to prevent the escalation of violence. When the conflict had begun, a military intervention should have taken place.

How are the five major climate regions related to the three zones of latitude.
g100num [7]
<span> The three zones of latitude :
i) Tropics till 23º.45 (between ± 23º.45)
ii) Temperate zone between 23º.45 to 66º.55. in both Hemispheres
iii) Polar Caps between 66º.55 to 90º, in both Hemispheres.
There are six major climate regions :
1. Tropical rain forests
2. Tropical grasslands (Savannah)
3. Deserts - China climate (from West to East)
4. Mediterranean climate - Temperate grasslands (Steppes, Prairie, Pampa, Veld, Downs)
5. Temperate rain forests - Taiga (from West to East)
6. Polar Ice caps
The matching is ---
1,2 : i)
3,4,5 : ii)
6 : iii) </span>
