### Hurricane in Atlantic Ocean#### Map DescriptionThe map shows the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding regions including the Gulf Coast and Yucatan Peninsula. The location of a hurricane is marked on the map with a hurricane symbol. The map includes latitude and longitude lines to indicate coordinates, ranging from 105°W to 55°W and 15°N to 45°N.- **Latitude and Longitude**: The map displays the geographic grid in degrees, which helps in pinpointing the exact location of the hurricane.- **Key**: The hurricane’s position on the map is indicated by a specific symbol.#### Map Features- **Hurricane Symbol**: Indicates the current location of the hurricane.- **Geographical Areas**: Identifies notable areas affected by the hurricane such as the Gulf Coast and Yucatan Peninsula.- **Atlantic Ocean**: The hurricane is situated in the Atlantic Ocean, influencing potential movement direction.#### QuestionThe hurricane has been moving toward the northwest at a rate of 30 miles per hour. When the hurricane passes 30°N, which direction should it start moving toward? Explain your answer.#### ExplanationAt latitude 30°N, hurricanes in the Atlantic often begin to experience changes in direction due to various atmospheric conditions like the Coriolis effect and the presence of high-pressure systems. These factors can lead to a shift in the path of a hurricane, often causing it to turn toward the northeast as it approaches the mid-latitudes. The detour is influenced by the interaction with prevailing westerly winds and other meteorological patterns.

The Coriolis effect is named after Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis who first calculate the influence in 1835. By the influence of the Coriolis effect, it changes the actual path of moving objects. By this effect, the free-moving objects in the earth travel in a curved path due to the rotation of the earth. When the hurricane moved at a rate of 30 miles per hour and headed northeast. When it passes the 30↑8N latitude, it is affected by the Coriolis effect. According to that effect, the moving object in the Northern hemisphere deflects towards the right. So the hurricane most probably heading east because of the right deflection due to the Coriolis effect. Answer: Towards right in the eastern direction due to Coriolis effect.
