CSCC GEOG 1900 EXAM 2 WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS What are the features of surface air? It moves from high to low pressure. It is deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere by the Coriolis force. It is deflected to the left in the southern hemisphere by the Coriolis force. At the shore, during a normal 24 hour period, a land breeze is most likely to occur in late afternoon (4pm) Geostrophic winds are subject to the Coriolis effect As evidenced in Lab 7, an eye dropper (a Cartesian di...
