Explanation:

Winds blow across the Earth from high-pressure systems to low-pressure systems. However,
winds don’t travel in a straight line. The actual paths of winds—and of ocean currents, which
are pushed by wind—are partly a result of the Coriolis effect.
Coriolis force is an apparent force that as a result of the earth's rotation deflects moving
objects (as projectiles or air currents) to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left
in the southern hemisphere.
The Coriolis force is zero at the equator (no cyclones at equator because of zero Coriolis
Force) but it increases with latitude. Hence, statement (1) is incorrect.
Coriolis force at 5° latitude is significant enough to create a storm [cyclonic vortex]. About
65 per cent of cyclonic activity occurs between 10° and 20° latitude.
