← GeographyWhich displacement occurs in long-range artillery trajectory due to Earth's motion?
A)A Coriolis-induced lateral deflection✓
B)Density-driven vertical air pocketing
C)Temperature-based pressure ridge oscillation
D)Gravitational tidal stress realignment zone
💡 Explanation
A projectile's trajectory deflects because the Coriolis effect alters its path relative to the rotating Earth; therefore, westward or eastward displacements occur. Because this force depends on speed and latitude, it results in lateral shifts rather than altitude changes.
