Which outcome occurs when a large, high-speed river flows northward past a deflection-free peninsula, given the conditions of the Northern Hemisphere?

A)Greater erosion on the eastern bank
B)Enhanced coastal deposition westward
C)Uniform flow avoids all deflection
D)Strengthened thermohaline ocean convection

💡 Explanation

Erosion increases on the eastern bank due to the Coriolis effect deflecting the river's flow to the right. This deflection occurs because the Earth rotates, therefore, the force increases erosion eastward, rather than influencing deposition or convection directly.
