...the earth's surface, there is a deflecting force arising from the earth's rotation, which deflects it to the right in the northern hemisphere, but to the left in the southern hemisphere." The whole subject of atmospheric circulation on the large scale rests on this law of deflection,...

...on the earth's surface there is a force arising from the earth's rotation which tends to deflect it to the right in the northern hemisphere, but to the left in the southern." This was published in May, 1858, six months before it was discussed, with the same result, in the French...

...the Earth's surface, there is a deflecting force arising from the Earth's rotation, which deflects it to the right in the northern hemisphere, but to the left in the southern hemisphere. The moving body has a tendency to keep on in a straight line; it is the Earth that changes...

...the earth's surface, there is a deflecting force arising from the earth's rotation which deflects it to the right in the northern hemisphere, but to the left in the southern." 122. Examples of the laws on which this principle depends may help to make it clearer. A man walking...

...the earth's surface, there is a force, arising from the eartlfs rotation, which tends to deflect it to the right in the northern hemisphere, but to the left in the southern." To illustrate fully the effects occasioned by the rotation would require volumes. A few only are presented...

...of the rotation of the earth, the moving air turns out of a straight course as it advances, turning to the right in the northern hemisphere, but to the left in the southern. The trade winds, therefore, approach the heat equator obliquely. "What is their direction north of the...

...the earth's surface, there is a deflecting force arising from the earth's rotation which deflects it to the right in the northern hemisphere, but to the left in the southern hemisphere." ' The tendency of a stream to maintain a straight course as it invades territory having...

...Earth's surf ace, there is a deflecting force arising from the Earth's rotation which tends to deflect it to the right in the northern hemisphere, but to the left in the southern hemisphere. The rivers of the northern hemisphere always pressing more heavily against their right...

...moves on the surface of the earth, there is a force arising from the earth's rotation which deflects it to the right in the northern hemisphere, but to the left in the southern. Ocean-Currents : The surface-drifts and deep-sea currents are naturally arranged in three great divisions,...

...the earth's surface, there is a deflecting force arising from the earth's rotation which deflects it to the right in the Northern Hemisphere but to the left in the Southern Hemisphere." But there is still an anomaly to explain. The Northeast and South-east Trade Winds blow...
