Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

The Coriolis effect causes North Pole air masses moving towards the equator to bend eastward.


Explanation:

The Coriolis effect causes an air mass moving from the North Pole towards the equator to bend to the east. This deflection occurs due to Earth's rotation, which impacts the direction of winds and currents. In the Northern Hemisphere, the result of the Coriolis effect is that objects are deflected to the right of their path.

As a result of the Coriolis effect, an air mass moving from the North Pole toward the equator will:

**C. bend to the east.**

The Coriolis effect is the deflection of moving objects (including air masses) caused by the rotation of the Earth. In the Northern Hemisphere, objects are deflected to the right of their path of motion. Therefore, an air mass moving from the North Pole (which is in the Northern Hemisphere) towards the equator will be deflected to the east.
