The Coriolis force is the force
A) that causes winds to move parallel to isobars because of the combined effect of the pressure gradient force and geostrophic force.
B) created by the Earth's rotation that causes winds to be deflected to the left in the Northern Hemisphere and to the right in the Southern Hemisphere.
C) that causes winds to move perpendicular to isobars because of the combined effect of the pressure gradient force and geostrophic force.
D) created by the Earth's rotation that causes winds to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
