More and more wind deflection occurs with height because
A)friction increases with height and deflection by the Coriolis Effect decreases with wind speed.
B)friction decreases with height and deflection by the Coriolis Effect decreases with wind speed.
C)friction increases with height and deflection by the Coriolis Effect increases with wind speed.
D)friction decreases with height and deflection by the Coriolis Effect increases with wind speed.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As wind speed increases with height, friction decreases due to less surface roughness. Meanwhile, the Coriolis Effect increases with wind speed, causing more deflection. Thus, deflection by the Coriolis Effect increases with height.
