← GeographyWhich atmospheric stream behavior results from Earth's rotation effects?
A)Jet stream deflection shifts poleward✓
B)Decreased evaporation from stream surfaces
C)Streambed erosion slows significantly
D)Increased oxygen dissolved in flow
💡 Explanation
The Coriolis effect causes deflection in moving air masses, because a point on Earth's surface moves faster at the equator than the poles; therefore, the jet streams deflect, rather than exhibiting straight north-south flow.
