Question

Coriolis force is an outcome of ______.

Options

• Rotation of the Earth

• Revolution of the Earth

• Temperature difference

• None of these

Answer 1

Coriolis force is an outcome of the rotation of the earth.

Explanation:

Coriolis force is an apparent force that arises due to the Earth’s rotation. It causes moving air and water to be deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. This force affects wind and ocean current directions but is not caused by the Earth’s revolution or temperature differences.
