Detailed Solution

The above statement is correct.
It's a phenomenon in which a mass moving in a rotating system moves perpendicular to the direction of motion and the axis of rotation and at the right angle to the airflow. The Coriolis effect causes objects to deflect to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. As a result, winds near the poles are more influenced than those near the equator. The impacts also play a role in developing cyclonic weather patterns on Earth. The Coriolis force is proportional to wind speed and impacts only the direction of the wind, not its speed or velocity. As a result, the Coriolis force is highest towards the equator and weakest in the poles.
