Answer 2

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth's rotation is the main reason for the Coriolis effect. The effect deflects anything that flies or flows over a long distance above the ground, proportionate to Earth's spin direction. Even storms can be a result of the rotation; hence, they do not form similarly everywhere on Earth.
