The Earth rotates on it's axis in a counterclockwise direction once every 24 hours, deflecting anything travelling long distances on or above the surface. This is known a the Coriolis Effect. What impact could the Coriolis Effect have on weather patterns?

A) Chance of dense fog
B) chance of a cyclone
C) chance of a tsunami
D) chance of high speed winds

The Coriolis Effect could have chance of high speed winds on weather patterns.

Option: D

Explanation:

Coriolis effect is zero at equator and maximum at the poles due to the spherical shape of the earth. Due to this force all the moving agents like ocean currents, winds changes its way from its normal path and deflect towards right side in the northern hemisphere and left side in the southern hemisphere.

Coriolis effect is related with Ferell's law. Coriolis effect creates the power and by maintaining the law moving agents change its direction in both the hemisphere. The speed of prevailing winds increase due to coriolis effect.

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
