Respuesta :
This deflection of air due to Earth's rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect also applies to ocean surface currents, which deflect in the same manner along the Equator, creating surface currents moving westward
The sun and the Coriolis effect are the driving force of oceanic and atmospheric circulation.
What is Coriolis effect?
- The air in the atmosphere deflects because of Earth's rotation.
- This effect is called Coriolis effect.
- The Coriolis effect also applies to ocean surface currents, which deflect in the same manner along the Equator, creating surface currents moving westward
How does the sun affects ocean?
- The sun rises the temperature of the water at surface.
- It warms up some parts of the ocean.
- Warm water rises like the warm air rises.
- As the warm water rises in certain area of the ocean the cooler ocean water moves and replaces the warmer water.
- This movement creates ocean currents.
So, this is how the Coriolis effect and the heat from the sun affects oceanic and atmospheric circulation.
