Question
How does the Coriolis Force vary latitudinally?
✓
Answer
In the northern hemisphere, the winds deflect towards the right and in Southern hemisphere deflect towards left due to the effect of the rotation of the earth, e.g. the trade winds take the Southwest direction in place of southern direction in northern tropical belt and in southern tropical belt these winds take northwest direction in place of northern direction.
