Which displacement occurs due to the Coriolis effect?

A)Eastward deflection of trade winds
B)Decreased solar irradiance at poles
C)Coastal upwelling in lower latitudes
D)Weakening of thermohaline circulation

💡 Explanation

Trade winds deflect eastward because the Coriolis effect alters the path of moving objects on a rotating Earth, influencing wind direction rather than insolation at the poles. Therefore, trade winds shift eastward, rather than effects like the described coastal upwelling.
