3. Question
2 pointsConsider the following statements about Coriolis force:
1.The Coriolis effect becomes more extreme as you move further away from the equator toward the poles.
2.As latitude increases and the speed of the Earth’s rotation decreases, the Coriolis effect increases.
Which of the above statements is/are Correct?Correct
The Coriolis effect occurs when an object traveling in a straight path is viewed from a moving frame of reference. The moving frame of reference causes the object to appear as if it is traveling along a curved path.
• The Coriolis effect becomes more extreme as you move further away from the equator toward the poles.
• Wind and ocean currents are strongly affected by the Coriolis effect. The main cause of the Coriolis effect is the Earth’s rotation. As the Earth spins in a counter-clockwise direction on its axis, anything flying or flowing over a long distance above its surface is deflected. This occurs because as something moves freely above the Earth’s surface, the Earth moves east under the object at a faster speed.
As latitude increases and the speed of the Earth’s rotation decreases, the Coriolis effect increases.Incorrect
