Winds and ocean currents traveling long distances around Earth appear to move in curved rather than straight paths. This is known as the Coriolis effect.What is the main cause of the Coriolis effect?Choose 1 answer:Choose 1 answer:(Choice A)   Earth’s gravitational pullAEarth’s gravitational pull(Choice B)   Earth’s spin on its axisBEarth’s spin on its axis(Choice C)   Earth’s orbit around the sunCEarth’s orbit around the sun

The Coriolis effect is a result of:Question 10Select one:a.Earth's orbital distance from the sunb.Ocean-atmosphere interactionc.Earth's rotationd.Ocean circulation patternse.Atmospheric circulation patterns

Four students explained the Coriolis Effect, choose the most correct answerQuestion 2Select one:a.Deflection of air due to the rotation of Earthb.Moving air is deflected horizontally because the speed of rotation of the Earth's surface is faster at high latitudes (poles) than at low latitudes (Equator)c.Circulation of cold water from poles to the equator as cold, salty water is dense and sinks to the bottom of the ocean while warm water is less dense and remains on the surface.d.Moving air is deflected horizontally because the speed of rotation of the Earth's surface is faster at low latitudes (Equator) than at high latitudes (poles)
