Which of the following is unaffected by the coriolis effect? a. earthquakes b. easterlies c. jet stream d. ocean currents e. westerlies

A. Earthquakes

Explanation:

    Coriolis's inertial force (or Coriolis Effect) is a movement perceived only by observers who are in a non-inertial frame of motion (for example, planet Earth). Newton's laws of motion are valid for inertial reference systems, ie without acceleration. To use them in a non-inertial system, one can adapt them by introducing fictitious forces. Therefore, it is common to call the Coriolis effect as a fictitious or inertial force, since it is only an acceleration (unit of measure is m / s² and not newtons).
