Dear dear dear I shouldn't bother; but will of course:-) You've totally misunderstood the effect, the air doesn't get "dragged" along by the earths rotation it's part of the earth. Bull****. The surface of the Earth exerts a frictional drag on the air blowing just above it. This friction can act to change the wind's direction and slow it down -- keeping it from blowing as fast as the wind aloft. A difference in terrain conditions directly affects how much friction is exerted. For example, a calm ocean surface is pretty smooth, so the wind blowing over it does not move up, down, and around any features. By contrast, hills and forests force the wind to slow down and/or change direction much more. The effect is when air is rotating vertically & horizontally at the same time, (it rises as a direct result of the sun's heat, then it cools & sinks in a cooler part of the earth, The effect of what? Try writing in standard English. Are you referring to the Coriolis effect? If so, there are a million accurate descriptions of that around, so there is no need for you to find one and rewrite it into your usual non-parsing nonsense. that direct route from say the equator to the poles appears to be deflected to the west because the earth rotates underneath. The atmosphere at exteme altitudes does migrate generally in a westerly direction at about 25 mph, but this is well above "surface weather" Good grief...just lift the stuff, don't try to rewrite it, eh? You can't write. Sorry atl man, but at least you tried & that takes more guts than the liar Harry has. K Can't leave it alone, eh, butch? Let me put it in terms you will surely understand. Anyone who has even social intercourse with you is at risk of contracting a disease. You are the loser's loser, Karen. You ought to be taken out and hung for the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue. Did you even complete the 8th grade? -- Email sent to is never read. |
