that's why the direction of rotation changes between two hemispheres. The Coriolis effects is greatest near the poles and zero at the equator because of the earths spherical shape.Hence Coriolis forces is zero at equator and maximum at poles ,it is proportional to sin of the latitude.

How does the Coriolis force vary latitudinal

Explanation:

  • The Coriolis force is force that is created by the rotation the earth on its axis and is force that is produced by the tilted nature of the earth and thus as the earth rotates in an anticlockwise direction the movement or flow of the wind direction is to the right in the northern latitude and to the left in the southern latitude and this applies to the movement if the oceanic current also.
  • As the latitude increase, the speed of the earth decreases and this deflection can also be seen in the formation of the hurricane. This deflection is equal and opposite in the north and southern zones.  
  • Creating the movement of the westerlies from the sub-tropical latitude to the poles. Thus the poles have a high Coriolis effect and equator has a low effect due to the flatness.
