Question 833Navigation General

The correct answer is C) Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect is the force that results from the Earth's rotation and causes winds to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection occurs because the Earth's surface is moving at different speeds at different latitudes, which causes the apparent deflection of moving objects, including winds. This is a fundamental principle in meteorology and oceanography, and is a key factor in understanding global wind patterns and ocean currents. The other answer choices are incorrect. Aurora borealis is a natural light display in the sky, ballistic deflection refers to the deflection of projectiles, and pressure gradient refers to the difference in atmospheric pressure between two locations.
