Multiple Choice
Earth’s rotation causes moving air to curve (deflect) in one direction in the Northern Hemisphere and curve in the opposite direction in the Southern Hemisphere. This is called the Coriolis effect. One factor that controls the amount of deflection of the winds is latitude. The deflection is greatest at the poles and decreases to zero at the equator.
The Coriolis effect is significant for winds that travel long distances over Earth. Other planets may have an even stronger Coriolis effect. There is a direct relationship between a planet’s rate of rotation and the amount of deflection due to the Coriolis effect.
Reading this information carefully, which diagram correctly represents the Earth we live on?
