Question

Give reason:
1)Coriolis force varies latitudinally.
2)There is a seasonal shifting in pressure belts.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. As latitude increases and the speed of the Earth's rotation decreases, the Coriolis effect increases. ... The direction of deflection from the Coriolis effect depends on the object's position on Earth. In the Northern Hemisphere, objects deflect to the right, while in the Southern Hemisphere they deflect to the left
2. The shifting of the pressure belts causes seasonal changes in the climate, especially between latitudes 30° and 40° in both hemispheres. In this region the Mediterranean type of climate is experienced because of shifting of permanent belts southwards and northwards with the overhead position of the sun.
