Question

Ocean currents that occur on or near the surface of the ocean are called the Coriolis effect.
A.
True
B.
False

Answer 1

Some of these wind patterns are caused by the Coriolis force. If the earth didn't rotate, wind would travel the globe in straight lines. Instead, the spin of the earth causes winds to seemingly curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This curvature of the winds is known as the Coriolis effect.

Answer 2

I'd say true

Answer 3

This is false I believe. The Coriolis Effect may affect the movement of the ocean's currents but the currents themselves are not known as the Coriolis Effect.

Answer 4

he is right, it's not the name given to the waves but it is what causes them.

Answer 5

The Coriolis effect (also called the Coriolis force) is defined as the apparent deflection of objects (such as airplanes, wind, missiles, and ocean currents) moving in a straight path relative to the earth's surface.

And I'm a she :P

Answer 6

ok that's what I thought that

Answer 7
