Why some currents are warm or cold? |
| Answer» <html><body><p></p>Solution :These are several warm ocean currents that move warm water away from the equator. These currents of water have warm air above the water. The warm air raises the temperature of the land it touches. These areas enjoy a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/much-2164829" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MUCH">MUCH</a> warmer climate than other places at the same latitude. Areas such as England would be much colder without the warm Gulf Stream. Warm ocean currents flow on the eastern <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/side-1206832" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SIDE">SIDE</a> of a continents. They only reach the western side in high latitude areas. Another characteristic is that they flow away from the equator. Warm currents have higher temperatures, so they are less dense than cold water. Usually warm water has a higher salinity, but it remains less dense than cold water, so cold water is <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/heavier-483846" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HEAVIER">HEAVIER</a> and flows under warm water. The water is warmed on the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/surface-1235573" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SURFACE">SURFACE</a>, so warm currents flow across the surface of the ocean. As a warm current cools down, it drops down and becomes a cold water currents.</body></html> | |

While the pressure gradient force is from north to south, i.e. from the subtropical high pressure to the equator in the northern hemisphere, why are the winds north easterlies in the tropics? |
| Answer» <html><body><p></p>Solution :Rotation of the earth also affects the wind movement. The force <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/exerted-7272976" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EXERTED">EXERTED</a> by the rotation of the earth is known as the Coriolis force. Due to this effect, winds move to the right from their original direction in northern hemisphere and to the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/left-1070879" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LEFT">LEFT</a> in the southern hemisphere. The deflection is more when the wind velocity is high. The Coriolis force is directly proportional to the angle of latitude. It is maximum at the poles and is absent at the equator. The Coriolis force acts perpendicular to the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/pressure-1164240" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRESSURE">PRESSURE</a> gradient force. The pressure gradient force is perpendicular to an isobar. The higher the pressure gradient force, the moreis the velocity of the wind and the larger is the deflection in the direction of wind. As a result of these two forces <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/operating-1136761" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OPERATING">OPERATING</a> perpendicular to each other, in the low-pressure areas the wind blows around it. Therefore, when pressure gradient force is from south to north then winds move from south to north easterlies.</body></html> | |
