← GeographyWhich overall effect results when equatorial air masses experience differential rotational speeds?
A)Northward or southward atmospheric deflection✓
B)Increased atmospheric CO₂ dissolution
C)Higher stratospheric ozone concentrations
D)Elevated continental weathering occurrences
💡 Explanation
Differential rotational speeds cause the air to deflect due to the Coriolis effect, creating distinct global wind patterns; therefore, air deflects rather than rising uniformly, because the Earth’s spin modulates these movements.
