The coriolis effect is the result of which of the following. a. winds spinning off the equator b. the rotation of the earth on its axis c. the different air movements north and south of the equator. d. the friction that slows down wind near the earths surface. explain

The correct answer is B - rotation of the earth. The coriolis effect is the apparent curvature global winds, ocean currents, and everything that moves freely across the surface of the earth. The curvature is due to earth rotating on its axis. The effect was discovered by the 19th century French engineer Gaspard. C. Coriolis. He used mathematical formulas to explain that the path of any object set in motion above a rotating surface will curve in relation to objects on that surface.
