Q. A force due to which moving objects (wind and water current) tend to deflect to the right in Northern hemisphere and left in Southern hemisphere is known as ?
✅ Correct Answer: (C)
Magnetic force
Explanation: If the Earth did not rotate on its axis, the atmosphere would only circulate between the poles and the equator in a simple back-and-forth motion. Because the Earth rotates on its axis, circulating air is deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection is called the Coriolis effect.
