Why do the prevailing winds blow from west to east in the Northern Hemisphere?

Biology

SSSSS [86.1K]2 years ago

Answer:

Generally, prevailing winds blow east-west rather than north-south. This happens because Earth's rotation generates what is known as the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect makes wind systems twist counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

The reason that they most often move from west to east is due to the jet stream. ... Jet streams carry weather systems. Warmer tropical air blows toward the colder northern air. These winds shift west to east due to the rotation of the earth.

Answer:

Low pressure spins counterclockwise, causing weather systems to move from west to east in the Northern Hemisphere.

This is due to lower air pressure further North America than in the tropics. Since low-pressure systems spin counterclockwise, winds move from the west to the east.

Prevailing weather results from expansive convection currents formed by the temperature differences on the surface of the earth as latitude increases. The Coriolis effect adds the twist.

I got this from a few sites so use this information as you want and be careful <3

How does a deep ocean current compare to a surface one?
Ronch [10]
The answer to your question is C- colder , saltier , and denser why because they don't have the same density level and deep ocean water is more dense than surface. and also  From your feet to your knees the water feels icy cold and from your knees to your head the water feels warm. You probably wondered what causes this to happen. What you felt were warm surface currents and cold deep currents. Changes in the density set these currents in motion. some ocean currents are set in motion by the wind other ocean currents are created by something you can't feel or see. Differences in density of water can also cause currents to form and move. Density is affected by temperature and salinity. i hoped i helped

What are stem cells? Where do stem cells come from? Why are they important?
irakobra [83]
Stem cells are cells of the body that can divide and become differentiated. stem cells specialise and take specific functions when an organism grows
mature tissues such as muscle, blood, tissue, bone, nerves, liver all have different types of cells.

they come from three to five day old embryo cells.

they represent potential in the regeneration and repair of damaged tissue. some therapies actually currently use stem cells for this reason
