Question

Which statement best describes the Coriolis effect?

A. the density of hot and cold air
B. the direction of air currents in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres
C. the uneven heating patterns between the equator and the poles
D. the circulation pattern of air near the equator

Answer 1

D. The circulation pattern of air near the equator.

Explanation: The Coriolis force is an inertial or fictitious force that acts on objects in motion within a frame of reference that rotates with respect to an inertial frame.
