The Coriolis effect decreases in magnitude with decreasing wind speed and decreases in magnitude as you move towards the equator.

The Coriolis force increases with increasing latitude and increasing wind speed. It only affects wind direction, not wind speed.

The Coriolis force increases with increasing wind speed. The Coriolis force acts perpendicular to the direction of travel (to the right of the wind in the northern hemisphere), so it cannot change wind speed.

The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, moving objects tend to bend to the right of their intended path. In the Southern Hemisphere, moving objects tend to bend to the left of their intended path. The Coriolis effect tends to increase or decrease the speed of moving objects.

Hey There!
The Berlin Wall was built by East German troops and engineers on August 13, 1961. The wall was built to keep west Germans out, but it was built to keep eastern Germans in. Many eastern Germans were fleeing to the west because they felt that Western Germany better represented their ideals, political ideas, and culture. Hopefully this helped!
