← GeographyWhich 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.
