Coriolis effect - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

CSCC GEOG 1900 EXAM 2 WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS What are the features of surface air? It moves from high to low pressure. It is deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere by the Coriolis force. It is deflected to the left in the southern hemisphere by the Coriolis force. At the shore, during a normal 24 hour period, a land breeze is most likely to occur in late afternoon (4pm) Geostrophic winds are subject to the Coriolis effect As evidenced in Lab 7, an eye dropper (a Cartesian di...

WX 201 Exam 2 with correct Answers (Graded A) Generally, the concentration of condensation nuclei is greater over the oceans than over land. False If a city receives 24 inches of snow, it is the equivalent to 18 inches of rain. False An important factor in the production of rain by the collision-coalescence process is the number of ice crystals in the cloud. False In a cloud composed of water droplets and ice crystals, the saturation vapor pressure is less over the droplets th...
