Question

1 multiple choice 20 points which of the following best describes the coriolis effect? the phenomenon that causes the curvature of ocean currents and wind due to the rotation of earth the phenomenon that causes ocean currents and wind in the southern hemisphere to circulate much more quickly the phenomenon that causes the curvature of ocean currents and wind due to the revolution of earth the phenomenon that causes ocean currents and wind in the northern hemisphere to circulate much more slowly

Explanation:

The Coriolis Effect is caused by Earth's rotation (not revolution) and leads to the curvature of ocean currents and wind. The first option correctly states this, while the others have errors (e.g., mentioning speed differences or revolution).

Answer:

The phenomenon that causes the curvature of ocean currents and wind due to the rotation of Earth
