Which outcome regularly distorts airborne ash distribution during volcanic eruptions?

A)Coriolis effect induces curved paths
B)Seismic waves scatter particulate matter
C)Electrostatic forces aggregate ash
D)Brownian motion overcomes gravitational settling

💡 Explanation

The Coriolis effect deflects moving air masses because Earth's rotation induces an acceleration on moving objects. Therefore, ash plumes curve significantly rather than moving in a straight line, differing from electrostatic or diffusive forces.
