      What is the coriolis force? Describe its effect briefly on the world climate.

    Answer:

                      Coriolis force is an apparent force caused by the Earth's rotation. It is responsible for deflecting winds towards the right in the northern hemisphere and towards the left in the southern hemisphere.       Under the effect of coriolis force, the trade winds moving from sub-tropical high pressure belts to equational low pressure belts become north-east trade winds in the northern hemisphere and south-east trade winds in the southern hemisphere. As a result, they bring heavy rainfall to the east coast and the west coast remains dry.
