Question

The rotation of the earth affects the direction of
A) Cyclone
B) Anticyclone
C) Both A and B
D) None of the above

Answer 1

Hint:
-Cyclone is caused by the Coriolis effect that is brought about by the earth's rotation.
-It affects the directions by curving the movement of the wind.
-It is affected differently in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.

Complete answer:
The rotation of the earth induces the Coriolis effect.The Coriolis Effect makes things (like planes or flows of air) voyaging significant distances around the Earth seem to move at a curve instead of a straight line.

Cyclones are molded by the Coriolis effect. They are enormous air masses that turn around the middle. As they turn, tornadoes maneuver air into their middle, or "eye." The air flows are pulled in from all headings. In the Northern Hemisphere, they curve to one side. This causes the cyclone to pivot anticlockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere, flows curve to one side. This causes the cyclone to pivot clockwise.

Additional Information:
The Coriolis impact likewise affects ordinary breezes. For instance, as warm air ascends close to the Equator, it streams toward the poles. In the Northern Hemisphere, these warm air flows move to one side as they travel north. At the end of the day, they move towards the east.

Hence the correct answer option ‘C’.

Note:
- Earth is continually rotating, or turning, from west to east.
-Like clockwork, Earth makes a full revolution.
-Various points on Earth move at various speeds, however.
-Points close to the Equator pivot quicker than points close to the poles.
