Which describes the Coriolis effect?(1 point) Responses the circulation pattern of air near the equator the circulation pattern of air near the equator the uneven heating patterns between the equator and the poles the uneven heating patterns between the equator and the poles the density of hot and cold air the density of hot and cold air the direction of air currents in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres

1 answer

The Coriolis effect describes the direction of air currents in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It is a result of the Earth's rotation, which causes moving air (and water) to turn and twist in specific patterns, leading to the characteristic movement of trade winds and ocean currents.
