Concept:The Coriolis effect is the deflection of moving objects caused by Earth’s rotation on its axis.
Explanation:Earth rotates from west to east, creating different linear speeds at different latitudes.
This causes a moving object to appear to curve relative to the Earth’s surface.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the deflection is to the right of the motion direction.
In the Southern Hemisphere, deflection is to the left.
This deflection is also known as Faraday’s Law (or Ferrel’s Law).
The Coriolis force is zero at the equator and increases toward the poles.
It significantly influences wind patterns, ocean currents, and large-scale weather systems.
The Coriolis effect does not result from pressure gradients, Earth’s axial tilt, or its revolution around the Sun.
It is solely a consequence of Earth’s rotation.
Answer:Earth's rotation.
