← GeographyWhich jet stream deflection results from increased Earth's rotation rate?
A)Greater Coriolis effect equatorward deflection✓
B)Reduced pressure gradient influence upward
C)Enhanced frictional drag surface convection
D)Decreased thermal inversion stabilization subsidence
💡 Explanation
A faster rotation would amplify the Coriolis effect, because this deflection of moving objects increases with the angular velocity; therefore winds deflect noticeably rather than flowing straight from high to low pressure.
