    hemispheres and include a discussion of why the effect increases with increased latitude.  The Coriolis Effect in the northern hemisphere cause all the moving objects to follow a curved path to the right of its anticipated direction.  The Coriolis Effect in the southern hemisphere cause all the moving objects to follow a curved path to the left of its anticipated direction.  These effects increase with increased latitude because the rate of change of the rotational velocity increases. There is more

    here‚ were the Hadley cell meets the Ferrel cell at 30°N or S the high pressure zone can move‚ creating high pressure in higher latitudes. In Britain this North African High can bring heat waves 2.  Thermal or cold anticyclones are typical of continental INTERIORS and hence are less likely in the British isles. In cold polar regions or during winter at lower latitudes‚ the land cools very rapidly (since there is no moderating influence of the sea)‚ chilling the air above. This radiational cooling

    flow towards the equator at low level. He added in 1735 the effects of the Earth’s rotation‚ deflecting winds towards the right hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere; this however failed to explain westerly winds in the temperature latitudes. In 1856 Ferrel proposed that three cells form in each hemisphere‚ resulting in major areas of high and low pressure at the surface. With high pressure forming where the air is falling and low where it’s rising. The three cells; Hadley‚ Ferrel and

    System of latitude and longitude developed by eratosthenes third century BC Latitude is measured as the angle between a line from earth’s center to the measurement point. Specifies north south position. Longitude is measured as the angle between a line from earth’s center to the prime meridian (green which); they are circular with identical radii at a given latitude. Keeping accurate time is necessary to measure longitude. Lines of latitude are always the same distance apart‚ but distance

    into northern latitudes. At these latitudes‚ there is less UV radiation‚ so populations with dark skin were not be able to create enough vitamin D to thrive. This meant that lighter skin in humans at the northern latitudes was more favorable and had a selective advantage. As a result‚ the fitness at the northern latitude corresponded with a lighter skin tone. So‚ naturally‚ human populations selected for lower melanin levels‚ and eventually evolved lighter skin in northern latitudes which explains

    warmest annual temperature? The city of Vancouver has the warmest annual temperature. This is because of the Ocean currents together with the Wind and Air masses‚ and Vancouver’s Nearness to water. Latitude: Even though Vancouver is fairly south‚ it isn’t as southerly as many other places making latitude‚ not a cause. Ocean Currents: Ocean currents play a huge role in the average annual temperature of Vancouver. The Warm North Pacific current brings warm water towards Vancouver. The air masses nearby

    1. Right ascension and also declination is just like longitude and latitude because they are all used for specific location purposes. As people on the ground use longitude and latitude to find things on earth‚ scientists and astronomers use right ascension and declination to find things in the sky. 2. The North Pole is north 90 degrees latitude and the South Pole is south 90 degrees latitude. There is no longitude for either the south or North Pole because neither one can be given a value.
