Question

Which way does the coriolis effect deflect wind in the northern hemisphere

Answer 1

Answer:

Towards the right

Explanation:

The Coriolis force is usually defined as the force that acts on the global wind and ocean currents and allows them to move in a clockwise and anticlockwise manner, in the northern and southern hemispheres respectively. This force occurs due to the rotation of the earth.

The strength of this Coriolis force gradually increases with the increasing latitudes and also increases with the gradually decreasing speed of the earth's rotation. So, the value of this force is observed to be highest at the poles and is absent at the equator.  

Thus, in the northern hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects the wind to the right side.
