Attempt this previous-year question. The correct option stays hidden until you choose.
With reference to "Coriolis force", which of the following statements is/are correct ?
1. It increases with increase in wind velocity.
2. It is maximum at the poles and is absent at the equator. Select the answer using the code given below :
Pick an option to check yourself.
• Correct Answer: C
• Coriolis force magnitude is directly proportional to wind velocity; higher speed means greater deflection.
• It is zero at the equator and maximum at the poles due to Earth's rotational geometry.
• Both statements correctly describe the latitude and velocity dependence of Coriolis force.
