What do we call the force that affects the direction of wind and is caused by the rotation of the earth on its axis?

Correct option is D

Sol. The force that affects the direction of wind and is caused by the rotation of the Earth on its axis is known as the Coriolis force.
 This force causes moving air or water to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Earth's rotation.
 It plays a crucial role in the development of various atmospheric and oceanic phenomena, including the rotation of cyclones and the direction of ocean currents.
 The universal force of attraction, which is acting between objects, is known as the gravitational force.
 Frictional force can be defined as a force that opposes motion when the surface of a body comes into contact with that of another body.
