question 23
coriolis goes to zero at the equator.
true
false
Brief Explanations
The Coriolis effect is related to the rotation of the Earth. The formula for the Coriolis parameter is \( f = 2\Omega\sin\varphi\), where \(\Omega\) is the Earth's angular velocity and \(\varphi\) is the latitude. At the equator \(\varphi = 0^{\circ}\), and \(\sin(0^{\circ})=0\). So \( f = 0\) at the equator.
