Question

if the earth did not rotate, how many circulation cells would we have in each hemisphere? a 1 b 2 c 3 d 4 continue question 2 of 9

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect, which is due to Earth's rotation, breaks the single - cell circulation (Hadley cell concept in a non - rotating Earth idea) into multiple cells (three - cell model in each hemisphere for a rotating Earth). Without Earth's rotation, the simple thermal circulation (hot air rising at the equator and cold air sinking at the poles) would form one large circulation cell in each hemisphere.
