Which of the following is true regarding the effects of the Coriolis force?
A)the amount of Coriolis deflection is uniform from equator to poles.
B)Coriolis deflection occurs only along parallels,not meridians.
C)Coriolis force is zero at the poles,increasing to maximum along the equator.
D)Coriolis force is zero along the equator,increasing to one-half of maximum at 30° latitude and maximum at the poles.
E)Coriolis deflection varies with changing intensity of the magnetic field.

The Coriolis force is zero along the equator and increases to maximum at the poles. The deflection is not uniform from equator to poles but varies with latitude. Coriolis deflection occurs along both parallels and meridians. The intensity of the magnetic field does not affect Coriolis deflection.
