Question

question 23
coriolis goes to zero at the equator.
true
false

Explanation:

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.

Answer:

True
