Question 15
The Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which in turn influences global wind patterns. However, this effect is most pronounced in regions with high latitudes. What is the primary reason for this phenomenon?
A. The Earth's rotation speed increases with latitude.
B. The Coriolis effect is amplified by the Earth's slightly ellipsoidal shape.
C. The wind patterns are influenced by the Earth's rotation and the resulting deflection of air masses.
D. The Coriolis effect is negligible at the equator due to the Earth's rotation speed being slower.
