Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The deflection produced by the Coriolis force is caused by Earth's rotation on its axis. As air or water moves across the surface of the rotating Earth, it appears to veer off in a curved path due to this force.

B, C, and D are not correct choices as they do not directly relate to the cause of the Coriolis force.
