What is the coriolis effect

Geography
2 answers:
Ostrovityanka [42]3 years ago
7 0

The Coriolis effect is an effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.

Hope This Helps ^_^

Basically it means when something is moving in a line and is rotating in a larger system at the same time it appears to move. If you look it up online you can easily find a picture or two that should explain it pretty well.

I need a paragraph for the words rotate,revolve, and organism pls help me it’s due by 3:30 today
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

I'm gonna make them science-y

Rotate:

Because of the Earth's rotation, the phenomenon known as the Coriolis Effect causes air currents and water currents on Earth to move in curved patterns rather than in straight lines. Currents in the Northern Hemisphere are deflected right, while in the Southern Hemisphere they are deflected left.

Revolve:

The ancient astronomer Ptolemy created a geocentric system model of how the universe revolves<em> </em>around Earth. He theorized in his model that all stars and planets traveled in a perfect circle around Earth, but that these rotations seemed visibly imperfect due to Earth being stationary.

Organism:

A virus is not a living organism. It is not considered one because it cannot replicate or reproduce its DNA/RNA without the use of a host cell. Due to it not being biotic, or living, antibiotic medicines are not able to treat viral infections.

5. What are the political and economic factors that complicate global warming
kolezko [41]
A lot of it is media bias. You won't hear this in school but Global Warming is a true but simple concept. Most of the arguments are between jobs that non-renewable energy gives us, and planet saving renewable energy.

The correct answer is South America.

Explanation

The graph shows the change in forest cover across various regions such as Eastern and Southern Africa, Northern Africa, Western and Central Africa, East Asia, South and Southeast Asia, Western and Central Asia, Europe, Caribbean, Central America, North America, Oceania and South America of the world between 1990 and 2010 (divided into four groups 1990, 2000, 2005 and 2010). According to the graph the region with less change in forest cover is North America because through those years, there were close to 700.000 Ha; the region with the most increase of forest cover is East Asia because in 1990 there were close to 200.000 Ha and in 2010 there were close to 270.000 Ha, and the region with the most decrease of forest cover is South America because in 1990 there were close to 930.000 Ha and in 2010 there were close to 850.000 Ha. According to the above, the correct answer is South America.
