Answer:
It is maximum at the poles and absent at the equator. The Coriolis effect arises because motion is being measured from a rotating frame of reference. There are no outside forces acting on a horizontally moving object that causes the observed curved motion. thus the key of this effect lies in the earth's rotation.
sorry but I really need these points!! plz co-operate!!
