Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

The deflection of Earth’s planetary winds is an 6 Arrows in the diagram below show three methods example of

A	the coriolis effect
B	the doppler effect
C	convection
D	gravitational pull

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The Coriolis effect describes the pattern of deflection taken by objects not firmly connected to the ground as they travel long distances around Earth. The Coriolis effect is responsible for many large-scale weather patterns. The key to the Coriolis effect lies in Earth’s rotation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Scientists use the movement of pendulums to provide evidence that the Earth is rotating. A pendulum is a weight hanging from a fixed point so that it can swing freely back and forth. When you move the base of the pendulum, the weight continues to travel in the same path.

Detailed explanation-3: -In addition to the Coriolis Effect, land masses or continents can influence ocean currents by causing them to be deflected from their original path. Study the map of ocean currents to see how the currents change directions as they are deflected from land masses.
