AVprozaik [17]3 years ago

The Coriolis force is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotation reference frame. This causes moving objects to the right ( with respect to the direction of travel ) in the Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere. The horizontal deflection is zero at the equator. It also causes the surface ocean currents in the Northern hemisphere to deflect to the right and the currents in the Southern hemisphere to deflect to the left.
Answer: the Coriolis force.

How do I convert/scale a recipe using a t chart
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Obtain the conversion factor by dividing the required yield (from Step 2) by the old yield (from Step 1). That is, conversion factor = (required yield)/(recipe yield) or conversion factor = what you NEED ÷ what you HAVE.

1) What is air pressure? (4 Points)
Nataly [62]

<span>1)    </span><span>What is air pressure? (Answ</span>er: Atmospheric pressure, sometimes also called barometric pressure, is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth.)

<span>2)    </span><span>What is a barometer and what is it used to measure? <span>(Answer: A barometer is a scientific instrument used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather.)</span></span>

<span>3)    </span><span>How does air pressure change?  <span>(Answer: Millibar values used in meteorology range from about 100 to 1050. At sea level, standard air pressure in millibars is 1013.2. Weather maps showing the pressure at the surface are drawn using millibars. ... This change in pressure is caused by changes in air density, and air density is related to temperature.)</span></span>

<span>4)    </span><span>Why is cooler, drier air related to High Pressure? <span>(Answer: This is due to density differences between the two air masses. Since stronger high-pressure systems contain cooler or drier air, the air mass is denser and flows towards areas that are warm or moist, which are in the vicinity of low pressure areas in advance of their associated cold fronts.)</span></span>

<span>5)    </span><span>Why is warm, moister air related to Low Pressure?  <span>(Answer: When air warms, its molecules scatter. The air becomes lighter and rises.)</span></span>
