The red arrow shows the direction that wind from the South Pole would travel if Earth were not spinning. The wind’s destination is at point A. Because Earth is spinning in the direction shown by the blue arrow, the Coriolis effect will cause the wind to terminate closest to which point?

Answer:

Answer: It should be A or the very left red circle that you can click on

Explanation:

Because when the wind is moving downward and the earth is spinning the spot the wind ends up will never be directly down from where it was to begin with

Answer:

The Coriolis effect causes the wind's direction to curve as it approaches point A. As depicted in the image, northern winds will be diverted to the left, while southern winds will be diverted to the right.

Explanation:

The impact of the Earth's rotation on weather patterns and ocean currents is known as the Coriolis effect. Storms whirl counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere because to the Coriolis effect. The path of a freely moving object appears to curve due to the Coriolis effect.

The Coriolis effect, also known as the Coriolis force, is the apparent deflection of objects moving in a straight line relative to the Earth's surface, such as aircraft, wind, missiles, and ocean currents.
