Which effect increases when the Earth's rotation speeds up?

A)Exaggerated Coriolis force deflection
B)Minimized tidal bulge displacement
C)Weakened Ekman spiral layering
D)Reduced geostrophic wind alignment

💡 Explanation

An increased rotation rate enhances the Coriolis effect, because the deflection resulting from a rotating frame is directly proportional; therefore, objects deflect more, rather than less, because the influence of Earth’s spin increases on moving objects.
