Changing Weather Is Often A Result Of The Earth’s Rotation
Relentless interaction between the heat of the sun and the earth’s atmosphere is behind weather development. When heating is not uniform all through a complex system of wind flows is generated. Air circulation produced by the atmosphere subjected to solar heat has three main forms.
The circulation of air near the tropics is called Hadley cells named after George Hadley, the scientist. Between 23.5 degrees latitude south and north, i.e., in the tropics the air rises having been heated. As it meets the tropopause it fans out while at about thirty degrees south and north a great part of this air drops back towards the ground. When it drops it removes air while to complete the cycle the removed air returns back towards the equator.
From thirty to sixty degrees north and south similar circulation known as Ferrel cells occur while in the polar regions polar Hadley cells flow.
But a straight north-south direction these air-flows do not follow and that is interesting enough. What is known as Coriolis effect is due to the earth’s rotation. In the Northern and the Southern...
