A force due to which moving objects (wind and water current) tend to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere is known as:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Coriolis force.
- The Coriolis effect is an apparent force, relative to the earth's surface, that causes deflection of moving objects to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere due to the earth's rotation.
- The magnetic force is the force of attraction or repulsion that arises between electrically charged particles due to their motion.
