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

Biology

Fed [463]3 years ago

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.

Which structural component is found in DNA but not in RNA?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

B. Deoxyribose

Explanation:

RNA is very similar to DNA, but differs in a few important structural details: RNA is single stranded, while DNA is double stranded. Also, RNA nucleotides contain ribose sugars while DNA contains deoxyribose and RNA uses predominantly uracil instead of thymine present in DNA.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!
