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.

Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
Area = 475 acres
The length of the channel (L) = 6870 feet
The average water shield slope (S) = 100 feet/mile
Since; 1 mile = 5280 feet
Burst duration D = 15 min
∴
100 feet/mile = 100/5280
The average water shield slope (S) = 5/264
Using hydrograph method:
The time of concentration 
where;
L = 6870
S = 5/264
min
Since 60 min = 1 hour
32.34 min will be (32.34*1)/60
= 0.539 hour
Lag time 
The time to peak i.e
Since D = 15 min is not equal to 
, then we hydrograph apart from duration lag time.
Then;
Now, we need to determine the peak discharge 
by using the formula:
where
484 = peak factor
Recall that A = 475 acres, to miles, we have:
A = 0.7422 mile²
