The main reason for the Coriolis effect is which of the following?
A. The large convection cells deflect air as the Earth rotates
B. Land heats up and cools down more quickly than water
C. The equator travels faster than the poles as the Earth rotates on its axis
D. Dense air masses low in the Earth's atmosphere increase in size
It's not A, I already tried it

If the Earth did not rotate on its axis, what would atmospheric circulation look like?
A. One giant convection cell with air rising at the equator and sinking at the poles
B. The same as it does now, with three convection cells in each hemisphere
C. Air moving east to west but around the globe but not moving north to south
D. Air moving in a latitudinal but not a longitudinal direction
D isn't correct
PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!!

The main reason for the Coriolis effect is option(c) i.e, The equator travels faster than the poles as the Earth rotates on its axis. If the Earth did not rotate on its axis,option(a). One giant convection cell with air rising at the equator and sinking at the poles.

An imaginary or inertial force known as the Coriolis force affects moving objects in a frame of reference that rotates in relation to an inertial frame. The force applies to the left of the object's motion in a reference frame with clockwise rotation.

Air would simply flow directly from high-pressure areas to low-pressure regions if the Coriolis effect didn't exist.

Almost all sciences that study the motions of the Earth and other planets need to understand the Coriolis effect. The dynamics of the atmosphere, including the movements of winds and storms, depend on it. It aids in explaining the motions of oceanic currents in oceanography.

The Coriolis force is perpendicular to the horizontal of the object. The Coriolis force acts north-south as the Earth rotates on its axis from west to east. The Coriolis force is zero at the Equator.
