Air Movement

Question 2 • FHS 2016 TX-Earth and Space Science

The Coriolis effect is caused by the jet stream.

Answer
A
T
B
F

Explanation

The Coriolis effect is caused by Earth’s rotation, which makes moving air and water appear to curve relative to Earth’s surface. It influences the direction of large-scale winds, including the jet stream; the jet stream does not cause the Coriolis effect. So the statement is false, matching choice B.
