Change of seasons
B.
Length of days and nights
C.
Determination of latitudes

AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
Our planet's rotation produces a force on all bodies moving relative to the Earth. Due to Earth's approximately spherical shape, this force is greatest at the poles and least at the Equator. The force, called the "Coriolis effect," causes the direction of winds and ocean currents to be deflected.
