Question

select the correct location on the image.the red arrow shows the direction that wind from the south pole would travel if earth were not spinning. the winds destination is at point a. because earth is spinning in the direction shown by the blue arrow, the coriolis effect will cause the wind to terminate closest to which point?

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect deflects moving objects to the left in the Southern Hemisphere (where the South Pole is located). Earth spins eastward (blue arrow direction), so wind traveling north from the South Pole will curve left, which corresponds to point 1 relative to the original path to point A.

Answer:

Point 1 (the purple circle labeled 1 to the left of point A)
