Which of the following is affected by Coriolis Effect?
1. Ocean currents
2. Jet streams
3. Trade winds
4. Meandering rivers
Select the correct answer using the codes given below
1 and 2 only
1, 2 and 3 only
2 and 3 only
All of the above
Coriolis force acts upon al moving fluids on earth’s surface. It is only the magnitude and impact of force that varies with factors like latitude, speed of the moving fluid etc. It acts upon all wind systems be it trade winds or westerlies etc. It also acts upon upper air circulations like jet streams. Coriolis also impacts ocean currents. For ex- the Gulf Stream is deflected to the right in the Atlantic and it reaches European coastline as North Atlantic drift. Coriolis effect also impacts rivers and causes them to meander. Though this impact on rivers is very feeble due to lesser volume of water but it can still be seen in more erosion along the right banks of rivers in northern hemisphere.
