| q |
Coriolis force
causes the wind to deflect to the right of its intent
|
|
|
path in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern
|
|
|
Hemisphere.
|
|
|
| q |
The magnitude of Coriolis force depends on (1) the
rotation of the
|
|
Earth, (2) the speed of the moving object, and (3) its latitudinal
|
|
|
location.
|
|
|
| q |
The stronger the speed (such as wind speed), the stronger the
|
|
|
Coriolis force.
|
|
|
| q |
The higher the latitude, the stronger the Coriolis force.
|
|
|
| q |
The Corioils force is zero at the equator.
|
|
|
| q |
Coriolis force is one major factor that determine
weather pattern.
