Explanation:

Question 5

The Coriolis effect is defined as the apparent curving of moving objects (like wind patterns) due to the Earth's rotation. The first option is about wind speed at altitude, the third about magnetic field (unrelated), the fourth about ocean - cooling (unrelated). So the correct description is the curving of wind patterns due to Earth’s rotation.

When warm and cold air masses meet, weather fronts (boundaries between them) form. A high - pressure system doesn't form from their meeting, air masses don't mix evenly (due to density/temperature differences), and winds don't necessarily decrease. So the correct answer is that weather fronts form.

Answer:

B. The curving of wind patterns due to Earth’s rotation (assuming the second option is labeled B; if original labels were different, adjust accordingly, but based on the selection in the image, the correct option is the one stating "The curving of wind patterns due to Earth’s rotation")
