Question

In the northern hemisphere, wind or water moving on earth's surface are deflected which direction due to the corriolis effect? Which way in the southern hemisphere?

Answer 1

The Coriolis force causes wind or water moving on the Earth's surface to be deflected in the opposite direction in the northern and southern hemispheres due to the Coriolis effect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Coriolis force

causes wind or water moving on the Earth's surface

in the northern hemisphere to be deflected to the right

due to the

Coriolis effect

. In the southern hemisphere, the

Coriolis force deflects wind or water to the left

. This force is caused by the rotation of the Earth and has substantial effects on large-scale motions such as wind patterns.
