The contour interval is 20' between normal contours and 10' between dashed supplementary contours. Wide gray band is a river, and three digit numbers are surveyed elevations. The Coreolis effect is vital for shaping Earth's atmospheric circulation. Explain how the Coreolis effect works. Show how air masses would change direction as they move north and south from mid latitudes in the northern and southern hemispheres, as shown in the figure below.
High mountains weigh a lot.
We know that the underlying mantle is ductile and flows over geologic time, and that crustal rocks are relatively weak. The flow of groundwater is from left to right. On the map, sketch a reasonable contaminant plume at some representative time in the future. Explain why the plume changes appearance as time progresses. Look at the maps of the world in the room.
