Question

surface water or any substance set in motion by the wind is deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. t caused by the earths rotation to the east. what is this called?
a coriolis effect
b
c
d turbulence

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect is a phenomenon where objects in motion are deflected due to the Earth's rotation. In the Northern Hemisphere, the deflection is to the right, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it is to the left. This effect influences the movement of air, water, and other substances. The Humboldt effect is related to ocean currents in a specific region. Convection is the transfer of heat through fluid movement. Turbulence refers to chaotic fluid motion. Based on the description in the question (deflection due to Earth's rotation), the Coriolis effect is the correct answer.

Answer:

A. Coriolis effect
