Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a wind starts moving directly towards a low-pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere, describe its path and the influence of the Coriolis force as it moves.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember how wind moves when the Earth spins.

Question 2

Calculate the impact of wind speed on the Coriolis force at a latitude of 45Β°. If a wind is moving at 30m/s, how much will it deflect compared to a wind speed of 10m/s?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how faster wind influences the curvature due to Earth’s rotation.
