| Statement I Wind is deflected to the right in Northern Hemisphere and to the left in Southern hemisphere from its normal course. |
| Statement II Earth rotates from West-to-East. |
A) Both the statements are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I
B) Both the statements are individually true, but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I
C) Statement I is true, but Statement II is false
D) Statement I is false, but Statement II is true
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
As air moves from high to low pressure in the Northern hemisphere, it is deflected to the light. In the Southern hemisphere, air moves from high to low pressure and deflected to the left due to Coriolis force. The Earth's rotation (West to East) deflects the direction of the wind to the right in the Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere.
