← GeographyWhich outcome affects long-range artillery accuracy at high latitudes?
A)Coriolis effect induced projectile drift✓
B)Increased air density reduces range
C)Precession alters barrel alignment slowly
D)Lower gravity extends flight path
💡 Explanation
The Coriolis effect causes projectile deviation because the artillery shell travels across a rotating reference frame, therefore the shell appears to deflect, rather than variations in gravity which would modify flight path but not direction.
