Question

What is coriolis force in geography in class 9

Answer 1

★Coriolis effect

an effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.

Answer 2

The Coriolis force in geography is as follows:

• As the earth spins around its axis, a force is generated. This force is called the Coriolis force.
• In the northern hemisphere, the particles moving freely tend to deflect to the right of their movement.
• In the southern hemisphere, the particles moving freely tend to deflect to the left of their movement.
• This effect caused by the Coriolis force is called the Coriolis Effect.
