2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the Coriolis force?
Think about how the wind would move if the Earth didn't spin.
In which hemisphere does the wind deflect to the right?
Remember how the Earth rotates.
What is the direction of wind deflection in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis force?
Think about the spinning of Earth.
True or False: The Coriolis force is strongest at the equator.
Where does rotation matter most?
If a wind starts moving directly towards a low-pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere, describe its path and the influence of the Coriolis force as it moves.
Remember how wind moves when the Earth spins.
Calculate the impact of wind speed on the Coriolis force at a latitude of 45°. If a wind is moving at 30m/s, how much will it deflect compared to a wind speed of 10m/s?
Consider how faster wind influences the curvature due to Earth’s rotation.
