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.

11- Explain how carbon moves through the Earth system (including the geosphere) and how it may benefit (e.g., improve soils for
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The Carbon Cycle. The main benefits are Plant growth and enrichment of agricultural soils. The main Harms are air pollution

Explanation:

Carbon movement on Earth is best-explained trough the Carbon Cycle, in this cycle carbon is stored, moves or is exchanged between the biosphere, the Atmosphere, Oceans, and the Geosphere.

Atmosphere storages big quantities of carbon. this carbon then cycles to the Biosphere where it is used mainly by the plants on the photosynthesis and respiration processes.

Oceans also plays an important role in the cycle by photosynthesis of seagrass and algae, the air and the sea also exchanges carbon present in the surface ocean. But also large amounts of carbon are stored in the deep ocean (about 37,000 gigatons of carbon per year).

In the Geosphere the Carbon Cycle is slower because it involves processes like rain that forms carbonic acid when in contact with the rocks, this acid promotes chemical weathering on rocks releasing elements like calcium and magnesium that are carried over to the oceans, in the oceans, Calcium carbonate is formed trough the calcification of organisms that are layered throughout the years, this calcium carbonate is then cemented and turned to rock. Organic carbon is also present in the Geosphere as a result of dead plant matter.

This carbon stored in the lithosphere is released back to the atmosphere through volcanism, and the cycle repeats.

societies greatly benefit from carbon because of the plant respiration and growth process, also carbon is an element present on rich soils for agriculture.

The main harm to society is air pollution. Humans emissions have an important impact on carbon cycle by adding more C02 to the atmosphere in the form of Black carbon (produced by combustion process) and because of deforestation, the Carbon exchange with plants is reduced, increasing pollutants to the air.

The coriolis effect ______ in magnitude with decreasing wind speed, and _______ in magnitude as you move towards the equator.
Nastasia [14]

The Coriolis effect decreases in magnitude with decreasing wind speed and decreases in magnitude as you move towards the equator.

The Coriolis force increases with increasing latitude and increasing wind speed. It only affects wind direction, not wind speed.

The Coriolis force increases with increasing wind speed. The Coriolis force acts perpendicular to the direction of travel (to the right of the wind in the northern hemisphere), so it cannot change wind speed.

The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, moving objects tend to bend to the right of their intended path. In the Southern Hemisphere, moving objects tend to bend to the left of their intended path. The Coriolis effect tends to increase or decrease the speed of moving objects.
