Coriolis effect, global winds and continental deflections are all factors that control
a. deep currents
c. surface currents
b. wind currents
d. density of currents

Correct answer choice is :

C) Surface currents

Explanation:

The unseen force that seems to divert the wind is the Coriolis force. The Coriolis force refers to action on revolving objectives. Winds sweep over the Earth from powerful systems to low-pressure systems. But, winds don’t move in a vertical line. The real routes of winds and of ocean tides, which are driven by wind are partially a conclusion of the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect is defined by Gustav Coriolis, the 19th-century French mathematician who first described it.

true. earthquakes are felt whenever there is a slip around a fault in the rocks below the earth. this reorientation of faults create sesmic waves and is known as earthquake, the severity of which is measured in richter scale. these are more prominent in hilly regions as the rocks usually form faults to balance the pressures on it.
