Which effect results when a long-range artillery shell fired northward is deflected eastward?

💡 Explanation

Wind and projectile paths bend due to the Coriolis effect; because angular momentum is conserved as objects move towards smaller radii. Therefore, a northward trajectory deflects east, rather than moving directly north due to the change in latitude and speed.
