Answer:Because of the Coriolis effect, surface currents in the Southern Hemisphere are deflected <u>to the left.</u>

Explanation:

Because the Earth rotates on its axis, circulating air is deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection is called the Coriolis effect.

How does the coriolis effect contribute to formation of tropical cyclones ? ​

The Coriolis effect is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion within a frame of reference that rotates with respect to its inertial frame. Any reference frame with clockwise rotation, the force acts to the left of the motion of that object; and vice versa.

Since the the earth rotates on a 23° axis, circulating air is deflected towards the right in the northern hemisphere and towards the left in the southern hemisphere.

Because the air is moving in a curved path creating circular spin patterns as the air travels from areas of high pressure to low pressure.

And so that’s why hurricanes in the north rotate counterclockwise, and tropical cyclones in the south rotate clockwise.

I hope that helps.

What colonial influences are evident in the languages in east africa
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:  

The Portuguese, French, British and Dutch

Explanation:

While it was the Portuguese who pioneered the earliest ventures of Europeans into Africa, they were soon followed by others. Most of the European outposts along the coast changed hands from time to time as the relative power and influence of different players waxed and waned.  The French, British, and Dutch were all major players, and much of the most lucrative trade was based on the trans-Atlantic slave trade.  European ships established a ‘triangular’ trading route, bringing goods for trade from Europe to the West coast of Africa, then taking slaves across to the New World, and returning to Europe with agricultural commodities from there.

I found a bed bug in my room. I told my mom and she blamed me Bc my room wasn’t clean. Yeah, I been not cleaning up. And she thi
babymother [125]

Answer:

I don't think it was because your room wasn't clean. The main cause of bed bugs is travel, which means most likely you got one on you when you went outside or something, and you accidentally got it into your room. Bed bugs hitchhike on luggage, clothing, people, etc.

If there are blood stains or dark/rusty spots on your bed/pillow, there are definitely bed bugs. The bloodstains/spots come from you crushing the bed bugs accidentally. The place where bed bugs are (in this case, your room), may also begin to smell bad. You might also see eggs laid by the bed bugs.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck!
