Why do hurricanes spin in opposite directions?

Geography
1 answer:
zheka24 [161]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

This is how the hurricanes are created: In the Northern Hemisphere, winds moving north will move to the east, and winds that are moving south are diverted westward. In the Southern Hemisphere, winds blowing toward the equator will move eastward, and winds traveling in the opposite direction will curve west.

This process results in winds colliding and swirling clockwise in the south, and counterclockwise in the north.

What causes the different seasons on earth apex?
Luda [366]

There's multiple reasons for the changes of seasons on the Earth, the most important being the elliptical orbit of the Earth around the Sun, its inclination, and the angle by which the Sun's rays are falling on the Earth.

Because the Earth's orbit is elliptical, in certain parts of the year it is closer to the Sun, and in certain parts of the year it is further from the Sun. When the Earth is closer to the Sun, it speed increases slightly, and that makes the Earth cooler, and when it is further from Sun, its speed decreases by little, and the Earth is warmer.

The inclination of the year allows for one half of the planet to get more Sun light in one part of the year, and the other half to get less, while in the other part of the year, the half that was getting less Sun light gets more, while the one that was getting more is getting less.

The angle of the Sun's rays is directly connected to the inclination of the Earth and its shape. The parts that get the Sun's rays at an angle of 90 degrees or close to that are warmer, and as the angle is becoming smaller and smaller the parts of the Earth become colder and colder because the rays are dispersing over a much larger area.

How do the United States and eastern Mediterranean nations compare ?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Turkey's strategic position directly influences U.S. policies vis-?-vis Iran, Iraq, Syria, and the Caucasus.

It has a growing strategic relationship with another long-term American ally, Israel, and it controls access to the Black Sea.

The successful exploitation and security of Caspian oil and natural gas reserves will certainly involve the transport of energy resources through Turkey, either overland or through the Bosporus, or both.

Turkey is a Muslim democratic country. The successful melding of Islam with a democratic, Western-oriented government serves as a model for many other nations in the region.

With regard to Greece, the strategic importance of the country has increased because of events in the Balkans over the last 10 years. Greece is certainly the most stable and economically viable country in that region. Greece's role in the region's development will grow even more as Balkan countries continue to struggle with their future.
