Answer 1

Explanation:

Coriolis force -

It helps to determine the turn of the wind to the right in the Northern Hemisphere due to the rotation of the Earth .

This effect does not impact the speed of the wind , it only affect the direction of the wind .

The impact of the Coriolis force of the wind direction is as follows -

From the north pole , the earth rotates at higher speed in the counter - clockwise direction , then the object will appear to deflect to the right of its intended path , due to the Earth's rotation .
