The Coriolis effect causes the wind directions of circulation cells. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.ANS: F

The Coriolis effect is only able to influence the direction of the wind. There are different circulation
cells as the heat moves from the equator to the poles. These atmospheric cells gradually move
eastward. Information can be found in the section The Atmosphere Moves in Response to Uneven Solar
Heating and Earth's Rotation.
