The Coriolis effect is the result of

The correct answer is Earth’s Rotation.

• The Coriolis effect is the result of Earth's rotation.

Key Points

• Coriolis Force:
  • The Coriolis effect is the pattern of deflection which objects take while travelling through long distances on Earth.
  • The key to the Coriolis effect is the result of Earth’s rotation.
  • Because of the Coriolis force, all the winds are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.
  • They are deflected to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
  • This is referred to as Farrell’s Law.
  • The Coriolis force is absent along the equator but increases progressively towards the poles.
  • 

Additional Information

• The rate of change of pressure with respect to distance is the pressure gradient.
• The pressure gradient is strong where the isobars are close to each other and are weak where the isobars are apart.
