Explanation:
impacts them greatly. We wouldn’t even have tropical cyclones if it weren’t for the Coriolis Effect.
Tropical cyclones begin as masses of disorganized showers and storms in/near the Tropics. As wind speeds pick up in these shower/storm masses, a circulation begins to form. The circulation only forms because of the Coriolis Effect, which causes cyclones to spin counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere (and clockwise in the Southern).
As the system matures, winds around its central eye strengthen. Rain becomes more intense. If the storm makes landfall, you might hear a TV meteorologist warn viewers about the “northeastern quadrant” or the “eastern side” of the storm.
This is because the Coriolis force adds momentum and energy to that side of the storm. On the east side of a low pressure system (in the Northern Hemisphere), your wind (which is caused by the pressure gradient force, or differences in air pressure) will be helped along by the Coriolis force. On the west side, the Coriolis force acts against the wind.
Thus, the Coriolis effect ensures that the worst part of most tropical cyclones is the east side, and particularly the northeastern quadrant. This is where the worst winds and heaviest rain will be located.
An object moving in a circle is accelerating, even if it moves with a constant speed because the velocity changes.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The direction of an object changes constantly during its movement in circle at a constant speed. As the direction changes it results in changing the velocity of that object. This happens since velocity has direction and magnitude.as it is vector quantity.
An object will have acceleration only if a resultant force is acting on that body. When an object is moving in a circle, this resultant force is the centripetal force that is acting towards the center of the circle.
The speeds range from 30 miles per hour to 70 miles per hour
It depends on the map. There should be a key indicated.
Well,not exactly. Longitude is the <em>angle</em> east or west of the Prime Meridian.
