Question

Imagine air is flowing in the upper atmosphere. this air begins above the equator and travels toward the north pole. due to the coriolis effect, in which direction is the air turned?

Answer 1

Answer: The air gets warmer and rises then it goes back toward the poles

Explanation: Hope this helps, tell me if it didn't.

Answer 2

Towards the right

Step-by-step explanation:

The equator is the region which receives maximum amount of sunlight. Due to this, the area experiences more heat and the air in this region becomes warm, and less dense. It then slowly rises up, forming a low pressure zone. This air is then carried by the wind towards both the poles. The wind that carries the air towards the north gets slightly deflected towards the right side because of a force known as the Coriolis force. This force is created due to the rotation of the earth.
