Question

If you took off in a plane out of Anchorage, Alaska and aimed straight south, your path would deviate according to the Coriolis effect. Which way would you go (roughly)? Please indicate N, S, E, or W (or SE, NE, etc.) AND explain your answer because your path might change

Expert Solution

Step 1: Coriolis Effect Influence
  • The Coriolis effect is an apparent deflection of moving objects caused by the rotation of the Earth. In the Northern Hemisphere, objects appear to be deflected to the right of their intended path.
  • This means that when traveling south, the Coriolis effect will cause your path to deviate to the right, resulting in a southeastward trajectory.
