Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The Coriolis Effect is a phenomenon that causes large objects or bodies (such as water or air) to be deflected off of their course. There are many variables that are involved in explaining the Coriolis Effect; a rotating Earth, nonstationary fluids such as the atmosphere or the ocean and the mass of the object. Coriolis Effect causes winds and water to follow a curved path because of the rotation of Earth. If there was no rotation, the fluid would just move in a straight line from an area of low pressure to high pressure. In the northern hemisphere, winds, for example, are deflected in a clockwise direction around pressure centers (that is, they appear to veer to the right) and the opposite is true for the southern hemisphere. At the equator, the Coriolis effect is nonexistent.
