Question

In the lecture video you will learn that the Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, results in a flowing liquid (ocean or atmosphere) to bend (the perspective of looking from the arrow "tail" toward its "head"). The bend is to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. This can be represented by a curved rrow. Choose the correct curved wind arrow for the H and L pressure cells in the northern and southern hemisphere: Northern Hemisphere H (D) L Southern Hemisphere H (H) L L(F) H

Explanation / Answer

In the northern hemisphere the air circulation in the Derrel cell, Ferrel cell and Polar cell is anticlockwise Lws are formed at the equator and then highs are formed at the tropics and then again lows ate the polar fronts and finally highs at the poles

so the pattren of motion of air in the cells in the northern hemisphere follows cyclonic motion or anticlockwise motion

B)- 7 air moves from lows of at the surface of equator to the troposphere where it ie high and diverging

C)- 2  air moves from highs of at the tropopause of equator to the lows of the tropopause above the tropics where it converging

D)- 3  air moves from lows of tropopause to the highs of the surface of the tropics where it ie high and diverging

A)- 1 air moves from high of at the surface of tropics to the low of the equator where it ie low and converging

In the southern hemisphere the air circulation in the Derrel cell, Ferrel cell and Polar cell is clockwise Lows are formed at the surface of equator and then highs are formed at the surface of the tropics and then again lows ate the surface of polar fronts and finally highs at the surface of the poles

so the pattren of motion of air in the cells in the northern hemisphere follows clockwise direction motion.

E)- 6 air moves from lows of at the surface of equator to the troposphere where it iS high and diverging in clockwise direction.

H)- 4 air moves from highs of at the tropopause of equator to the lows of the tropopause above the tropics where it converging in clockwise direction

G)- 8 air moves from lows of tropopause to the highs of the surface of the tropics where it ie high and diverging clockwise direction

F)- 5 air moves from high of at the surface of tropics to the low of the equator where it ie low and converging clockwise direction
