5 EFFECTS OF NORTH EAST TRADE WIND IN GHANA
Answers
Answer:
The trade winds or easterlies are the permanent east-to-west prevailing winds that flow in the Earth's equatorial region (between 30°N and 30°S latitudes). The trade winds blow predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere, strengthening during the winter and when the Arctic oscillation is in its warm phase. Trade winds have been used by captains of sailing ships to cross the world's oceans for centuries and enabled colonial expansion into the Americas and trade routes to become established across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
In meteorology, the trade winds act as the steering flow for tropical storms that form over the Atlantic, Pacific, and southern Indian Oceans and make landfall in North America, Southeast Asia, and Madagascar and eastern Africa. Trade winds also transport African dust westward across the Atlantic Ocean into the Caribbean Sea, as well as portions of southeastern North America. Shallow cumulus clouds are seen within trade wind regimes and are capped from becoming taller by a trade wind inversion, which is caused by descending air aloft from within the subtropical ridge. The weaker the trade winds become, the more rainfall can be expected in the neighboring landmasses.
Explanation:
The 5 EFFECTS OF THE North East TRADE SPIRIT IN GHANA are:
- The northeast trade winds are the winds that blow up in the Northern Hemisphere at about 30 degrees latitude, with the ability to propel a ship quickly across the ocean.
- In the Southern Hemisphere, at 30 degrees South Latitude, winds are blowing from the southeast, creating trade winds in the southeast.
- The North-East Trade Wind, which winds directly from northeast Ghana to southwest Ghana, shows the following effects.
- This is a dry breeze, and therefore, leads to the drying of plants and dry skin and human lips.
- Apart from the dry air these do not bring rain, causing drying of crops.
