What impact does the coriolis effect have on the direction the air travels?

Biology
2 answers:
Fed [463]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The effect of coriolis causes winds to blow diagonally from west to east in the northern and southern hemispheres, above and below the subtropical elevations, respectively. It also causes the northern hemisphere winds to curl to the right while in the southern hemisphere, the deflection is to the left. Both effects result in the movement of the west winds to the poles.

Explanation:

The Coriolis Effect or Coriolis Force is a system of reference in uniform rotation, in which the bodies in movement, when seen by an observer in the same referential, appear subject to a force perpendicular to the direction of its movement.

The Coriolis Force is exemplified and serves as the basis for various effects taking place on Earth. This force influences the movement of air masses, deviates the trajectory of long range projectiles, and causes changes in the plane of motion of a pendulum.

The Coriolis Effect can be seen in action in the general circulation of the atmosphere. The winds at all latitudes to the north of 0° deflect to the right of their intended path in the Northern Hemisphere. The Coriolis Effect does not impact the wind speed, only the wind direction.

In the lab, Celia adds concentrated sulfuric acid to a beaker full of water. She touches the side of the beaker and finds the so
AlladinOne [14]

Answer: The statement is false

Explanation:

Addition of concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to a beaker full of water (H2O) will release heat energy to the containing vessel due to the breakage of strong ionic bond present in the acid.

Thus, it is an evidence of a EXERGONIC REACTION (since energy is released spontaneously). So, the statement is false
