Answer:

The main reason for the difference, Ebel says, is that the California coast is right above the boundary of two of the tectonic plates that make up the Earth's crust. By contrast, Virginia is in the middle of a plate that stretches from the California coast to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

As they approach North America, hurricanes commonly move north on clockwise-curving paths due to the _________
IgorLugansk [536]

As they approach North America, hurricanes commonly move north on clockwise-curving paths due to the:- <u>Coriolis effect</u>

<u>Coriolis effect</u>

  • 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.

The key to the Coriolis effect lies in Earth’s rotation. Specifically, Earth rotates faster at the Equator than it does at the poles. Earth is wider at the Equator, so to make a rotation in one 24-hour period, equatorial regions race nearly 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) per hour. Near the poles, Earth rotates at a sluggish 0.00008 kilometers (0.00005 miles) per hour.
