Answer:

(A) The Coriolis force is the force that acts on an object due to the rotation of the earth. The basic rule of this force is that it causes the deflection of wind when it blows from one place to another. The magnitude of this Coriolis force directly depends upon the latitude at which the object is located. This force is maximum at the poles and minimum at the equator.

(B)- Correct answer is Option (2) i.e  this force can indicate the wind direction in the northern and southern hemisphere,

When the air in a particular area becomes warm due to heating, then it becomes less dense and rises up. This area forms a low pressure zone. This low pressure zone is filled with the air from the high pressure zone. The wind that blows from the region of high pressure to the region of low pressure does not move in a straight line. Due to the Coriolis force, this wind gets deviate and reaches the low pressure zone.

<u>Thus, this force indicates the direction from which a wind blows in both the southern and the northern hemisphere. In the southern direction it moves in anticlockwise direction, whereas in the northern hemisphere it moves in clockwise direction.</u>

Although nitrogen gas makes up 78% of the atmosphere, we can't use it because _____.
IceJOKER [234]

The answer is - it can not be taken out of the atmosphere.

The nitrogen, even though makes for about 78% of our atmosphere, and is by far the most abundant gas in it, we can not use it because it can not be taken out of the atmosphere as it is. If we take nitrogen in the form as it is in the atmosphere it is useless for both, humans and plants. It has to go through a process of ''fixation'' first before we can actually use it in our food.
