Which consequence results when Earth's decreased rotation rate weakens the Coriolis effect?

💡 Explanation

Weaker Coriolis force causes decreased deflection of winds; therefore, winds become more north-south (meridional) rather than strongly zonal. This alters global heat distribution because the prevailing mechanism is momentum transfer, rather than deflection toward easterlies or westerlies.
