Coriolis Effect • Coriolis Effect: Earth’s rotation causes winds to blow in a curved path. Winds in the northern hemisphere move clockwise/right, while winds in the Southern Hemisphere move counterclockwise/left.
Factors Affecting Climate Latitude, Proximity to Water, Altitude, Ocean Currents, Global Winds • __________________Areas near large bodies of water typically have more mild winters and summer because water heats up and cools down slower than land. • __________________Areas that are higher above sea-level are typically cooler. • __________________Polar easterlies may bring dry, cooler climate to areas; Prevailing Westerlies may bring moist climate to areas (United States); Trade winds may bring moist, warm climate. • __________________Areas that are located near the equator are typically warmer than areas located near the poles. • __________________Areas near constant moving masses of warm-water heat up climate, while areas near constant moving masses of cold-water cool down climate.
