← GeographyWhich flow deviation occurs because of atmospheric coriolis?
A)Trade winds deflection Eastward✓
B)Deep ocean current reversal
C)River meanders intensifcation
D)Increased volcanic sulfur aerosol spread
💡 Explanation
Trade winds deflect westward in both hemispheres, because the Coriolis effect alters air's trajectory. They curve due to Earth's rotation, therefore causing this deflection rather than influencing ocean depths or river systems.
