Correct Answer - Option 3 : Coriolis force

The correct answer is the Coriolis force.

  • The Coriolis effect is responsible for many large-scale weather patterns.
  • In the Northern hemisphere, hurricane winds turn to the right and rotate counter-clockwise and in the southern hemisphere, the winds turn clockwise and to the left.
  • Rotation of the earth around its axis is responsible for Coriolis force.
  • The Coriolis effect describes the pattern of deflection taken by objects not firmly connected to the ground as they travel long distances around the Earth.
  • The key to the Coriolis effect lies in Earth’s rotation.
  • Earth rotates faster at the Equator than it does at the poles. Earth is wider at the Equator, so to make a rotation in one 24-hour period.
