Question

Why coriolis force is absent at the equator but increases towards the poles​?

pls tell.. tomorrow is my geo test..

Answer 1

Answer:

It is maximum at the poles and absent at the equator. The Coriolis effect arises because motion is being measured from a rotating frame of reference. There are no outside forces acting on a horizontally moving object that causes the observed curved motion. thus the key of this effect lies in the earth's rotation.
