Q. Which one of the following is not the effect of the revolution of the Earth.
✅ Correct Answer: (D)
Change in the direction of winds and ocean currents
Explanation: Our planet's rotation produces a force on all bodies moving relative to the Earth. Due to Earth's approximately spherical shape, this force is greatest at the poles and least at the Equator. The force, called the "Coriolis effect," causes the direction of winds and ocean currents to be deflected.
